Adapted from Bridget at The Way the Cookie Crumbles, who in turn adapted it from Deb Perelman at NPR: /2009/08/29/pickled-coleslaw/. I've made it both with sugar and Splenda and both work, which makes the diabetics in my family very happy! Read more ! If you make it with Splenda, subtract 255.4 calories, 1.3 mg potassium and 66 g carbohydrates from the total recipe.
