This was the worst coleslaw I've ever had. The crab was tough and the dressing was watery.

I would not recommend this recipe. The instructions were unclear and the dish turned out bland and unappetizing.

Not a fan of this recipe. The coleslaw was too vinegary and the crab was overcooked.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The coleslaw was crisp and the dressing was flavorful. However, I would have liked there to be more crab in the dish.
