Notes about this recipe

    Had to make a few changes because I didn't have mango, papaya, savoy cabbage and lemon grass. Used apple, blood orange and paprika instead. Left the lemongrass out of the dressing. And used the roasted nuts from Falastin instead of the macadamia nuts. Together just a little bit too spicy with the nuts, and a little bit too sour because my bloodorange wasn't really sweet so I added some extra maple syrup to the salad. Still a very nice salad.

    The dressing is ace, and the nuts add a genius touch.

    Great flavors. Love the dressing. Didn't have a papaya so used a kiwi as someone else suggested and it was great.

    Having not one of the slaw ingredients called for, I made a completely different salad and used this recipe solely for the dressing, which is divine.

    This is excellent, as others have stated. Used peanuts instead of macadamia nuts and was a good subs. This makes A LOT of food, and this slaw absolutely does not keep well more than 24 hours.

    Lots of chopping and prep but worth it. You can play around with the ingredients and it still works - I don’t put quite as much mango and papaya in as the recipe asks for. The caramelised macadamia nuts are amazing, and very tempting just on their own too!

    Took this to my mum‘s for boxing day lunch. Despite leaving out the macadamia nuts due to allergies and substituting oranges for the other fruit, since this is what I had on hand, this was one of the best slaws I have had in a long time. Highly recommended!

    Fun blend of flavors that really put pizazz into coleslaw. Easy enough to make for a weeknight dinner but pretty and unusual enough to serve at a company dinner. I couldn't find macadamia nuts so subbed in pecans and they worked really well. I also subbed kiwi fruit for the papaya and their flavor melded well with everything else. Just as odd kitchen mentioned this makes a big bowl of slaw but I am looking forward to the leftover slaw in my lunch tomorrow.

    Terrific blend of flavors; slightly finicky preparation. The caramelized macadamia nuts make the dish. Be warned that the recipe as written produced an enormous quantity of food, serving 8 people two side-dish-sized servings.
