I made this and LOVED it! Thanks for sharing. I also did some tweaking and added apple cider vinegar in place of some of the vinegar, and added apples to it. I posted my tweaked version on my blog, but also put a link to your original recipe up on my blog as well.

I make this all sumer long, but just put seasoned salt on mine. We call it Thunder and Lightning. Can’t wait to try your dressing on it.

Thanks for all the great recipes!

So funny you posted this. I was dying to make this to eat with our New Year’s Day meal. I thought it would be smart to go ahead and cut up the veggies the night before. I also poured vinegar over them. LOL Oh my goodness, it was so strong and soggy. (I didn’t know to add water and added very little sugar) Needless to say, it would have choked a horse. I ate it anyway because I had been wanting it. But, I will make it again soon. (The right way)

I make this same salad but I use lemon juice for a dressing for it after it set a few hours in a cool place you serve it with meatloaf and it is sooooo good.

I love the salad and have made it for years. I lived in TN for 35 years and also felt tied to the space museum as all my family lived out of state and of course every visit to our house included a visit to the space center. My husband worked for NASA.

Hey Carmen, most times I use Splenda in mine. I think I mentioned that in my post but I’ll go check soon as I get a chance
Splenda works wonderfully in it!

Melodi, she may have made it with mayonnaise. I get the tri-color slaw at Walmart and I make a creamy dressing of mayonnaise, vinegar and sugar (Spenda). I think a dressing made with sour cream and green onions would be good too.

I bet poppy seeds would be good too.

I used that vinegar all the time – good as the more expensive. My question is can you use Spenda in place of the sugar? I am on Atkins and I think I would love this salad for a snack. LOL.
