    I have to say that this was a whole lot better than I imagined! I was a bad girl and added a tiny bit of stevia and doubled the honey. We are sweet addicts, and I figured I better submerge the family into this slowly. I found myself going to snack on it instead of all the snacks in the pantry.
    I also did part red cabbage and part green. Not sure if that affected the flavor, but the flavor was great either way.+

    This was delicious as is, but for me was missing the “bite” that traditional slaw has, so I added a couple splashes of apple cider vinegar and some fresh cracked black pepper. YUM!

  5. The bell pepper in this was a little weird, but overall it was very good. Oh, and we used about a third less honey than called for.

  6. I just got done making this dish, and it’s so delicious! I was gonna have it for dinner but instead i’m gonna save it for work lunch tomorrow. Now i’m gonna look for another recipe to make ;)
    Thanks so much.

  7. Wonderful! Easy and delicious! Thank you!

  8. This is good. However, I grabbed some leftovers for lunch and threw a brat and some of this slaw in the same container. After zapping it in the microwave, this becomes the absolute BEST sauerkraut I have ever tasted. I know it is not real sauerkraut, but it is mighty testy.

  9. This recipe was well-received in my house (hard with a very very very picky husband).

    Since I didn’t plan to use honey (on a Whole30), I used a gala apple instead of a tart one. That added enough sweetness, along with the yellow bell pepper, that we didn’t miss the honey. Also didn’t use celery seed; not sure what we missed without it.

  10. So good!,,

  11. Delicious! Didn’t have Celery Seed so used Epicure Lemon Dilly. Beautiful!
