Is sweet or dill pickle relish used?
I found this slaw to be fairly oily and bland, even adding more hot sauce and less mayo. Mark Bittman has a recipe that is very light on the oil--better "mouth-feel" and highlights the taste of the vegetables.
This was fantastic. I'm in India trying to replicate slaw from home. This was perfect. I had to make my own mayo, which I've failed at in the past, but I used another recipe on this site to make it, and it worked great, and it made everything better. I may never go back to jar mayo again now that I've pulled it off. It just elevated this slaw so much and made me feel better about it, knowing what went in. Great slaw recipe, but make your own mayo to make it even better!
I followed this recipe as written, except I added a little celery seed and, as part of the pickle relish contingent, I used finely minced ‘Hot and Sweet Snackers’ pickles from Kroger‘s grocery store (they taste as if dill pickles and sweet pickles had a hot and spicy baby). I’ve *never* made coleslaw before that made me go ‘Ummmmmm’ until now. Ummmmmmm!
My husband LOVED this ("you outdid yourself!"). Quick and easy. Put on top of sandwiches filled with Hoisin-Garlic Chicken. A winner!
Love knowing when I have some leftover ingredients in my refrigerator, such as cabbage, carrots, and radishes, I can find a great recipe for them! Also used pickle juice as someone else commented. Easy and really good!
