Excellent, my 10-year-old son and husband loved it, had seconds. We had it as a starter with pizza. I followed the recipe, but I think a bit of salt instead of celery salt would not take anything away from the flavour.

Nice, fresh slaw recipe. Only had Savoy cabbage and it worked well. Also added an apple chopped into match sticks. And I didn't have celery salt.

If you're looking for a great coleslaw like the ones you would get in a BBQ restaurant (as I was) then you won't find it here. This is just lemony mayonnaise.

Really nice coleslaw, had with pulled pork and baked trout. Made the coleslaw for several people who all really liked the recipe. A word of warning though, the mayonnaise dressing tastes very lemony when not mixed with the coleslaw mix so it would be better to try both together in a small amount if you are not sure about the recipe.

Great dressing, very easy. A crunchy, colourful contrast for the main BBQ meat. People enjoyed it.

This is a really nice way to make a salad. I "spiralised" the carrot and really enjoyed the lemony dressing with that and the cabbage.

This is delicious- it works really well with pulled pork- especially when in rolls with the chipotle molasses BBQ sauce.
