Sweet and Sour Coleslaw – Vegetarian Recipe
If you are bored with the same old traditional coleslaw, and are looking for something more interesting and refreshing, you will enjoy this recipe.
At first I was skeptical about the combination of the ingredients for this coleslaw, especially the use of pickles, and grapes.
I had a discussion with my niece, who is a Food Scientist, and she felt that it actually sounded pretty good.
She would have excluded the raisins (she does not like them), but I kept them in, and would have loved to add the walnuts, but did not have any in my pantry.
