• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Yields: 4 cups

ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar (or more)
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce, such as Texas Pete
• coarse salt (kosher or sea)
• fresh ground black pepper
• 1⁄2 large green cabbage, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces (for about 4 cups finely chopped)
• 1 medium carrot, peeled

directions

1. Place mustard and sugar in a non-reactive mixing bowl and whisk to mix. Gradually whisk in vinegar, oil and hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste; the dressing should be highly seasoned. Set dressing aside.
2. Finely chop cabbage in a food processor fitted with a metal chopping blade, running the machine in short bursts; this is a chopped, not a shredded, slaw. Work in several batches so as not to overcrowd processor bowl.
3. Finely grate carrot by hand or use shredding disk of food processor.
4. Add cabbage and carrot to dressing and toss to mix. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt and vinegar as necessary.
5. The slaw tastes best served within a few hours of being made but can be refrigerated, covered, for a day or two.

I was looking for something different b/c I had a bag of coleslaw mix and my DH doesn't like "coleslaw". I found it with this recipe. It is tangy and a touch of heat. So good. I followed the directions as given...the hot sauce I used was green/jalapeno Tabasco brand. I will definitely make this again. It was a big hit..... pairs really well with baked pork chops! Thanks!!

Super Yummy! Used it over pulled chicken sandwiches. I didn't have oil so I used mayo. I also added some thinly sliced red onion. My husband said "it's a keeper". :) Thanks for sharing this recipe!

This is wonderful, especially paired with a pork tenderloin that has been cooked all day in the crockpot with a vinegar based BBQ sauce. Thanks for the recipe. It reminds me of the coleslaw I used to eat in grade school. :)

Ok, I am the only one in the family who likes coleslaw however; a small single serving is normally enough to carry me for a very LONG time. This recipe peaked my interest though because it does not call for Mayo. I am so glad I gave it a try! Lunch today consisted of 1/2 a batch of the coleslaw and the other 1/2 will be consumed tonight with dinner. Best of all 2 of our kids tried it and really liked it too. I wonder if DH will be brave enough to give it a try? I did make one small change however, I cut the amount of oil in half and reduced the sugar by 1 Tbs. This is a definite keeper, thanks for sharing kiwidutch! Made as a recipenap for the 24th AUS/NZ Recipe Swap.
