I adapted this recipe while on the South Beach Diet. It is a wonderful complement to grilled meat and burgers and a welcome change from the Asian flavored or the mayo-based slaws. The recipe is easily doubled.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The coleslaw was still delicious.

I was looking for a new coleslaw recipe to try and this one didn't disappoint. The dressing is perfect - not too sweet and not too tangy.
