It's the one thing dh and I can't agree on. I don't like the way he makes it, and he doesn't care for mine. Anyone have a good recipe?

I think it depends on where you are from. There should not be vinegar in cole slaw. That give it the bitter taste.

Although, most recipes call for it.

Thanks Nellie for all the recipes.

Don't use vinegar if you don't like it! By all means leave it out.
