Except for being a bit generous with the measure of dry mustard, I followed your recipe right on down & had a great tasting slaw, thoroughly enjoying the slight kick from the cayenne! Thanks for sharing this recipe keeper! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

This is a GREAT coleslaw! I love the purple and green colors. I mixed the sauce in a pyrex with my immersion blender, I only used a dash of cayenne, subbed 3 Splenda packets for the sugar, and added the garlic to it. On my scale, 1/4 lb of cabbage is about 2 cups about a quarter of a head. A 1/4 lb of spinach would have been 4 cups, I only used 2 cups. I chopped everything confetti style. The sauce was more than enough. I let it sit a few hours and then topped it with the parsely...I'm not sure it really needed it and would have liked cilantro better. I think this could be even better with more mustard, the addition of vinegar and some chopped red bell peppers. I would also double this next time. Freddy Cat says thanks for the recipe!
