use celery seed instead of poppy seeds. We
I’ve tried many Cole slaw recipes in the past. They were either too sweet, too soupy or just
use celery seed in our pickled slaw and it's
not good. The recipe was easy to make & my husband liked it. He asked me if I had made it
good! Letting it sit a while is the key. That

I made this, and it's delicious. I guess one could use a little less sugar, but I like to review
the recipe as written.

Best slaw ever! I’ve been making this recipe for years. I tried it with Splenda and find that
it is a decent replacement if you are watching sugar intake. I use about 1/4C of Splenda, as
I feel a half is just too sweet.

I doubled this recipe and only added 1/4 cup sugar. Added some celery seed and dill just
to add flavor. It was sweet enough and all of it was eaten.
