The "Doesn't this smell like Popeye's coleslaw?" mustard slaw

Mustard slaw will go over nicely with those with an aversion to mayonnaise. It smells, I kid you not, just like Popeye's coleslaw. This recipe will make coleslaw for at least forty people. I know this because I had two large Ziplock bags full and we only went through half of one bag.

Ingredients:

2 heads of cabbage, cored and finely chopped. I used red and green.

1 green apple, peeled and finely chopped

3 carrots, peeled and grated.

1/2 cup of Dijon mustard

1/3 cup sugar

1/3 cup apple cider vinegar

1/3 cup vegetable oil

2 to 4 Tbsp. hot sauce

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

- In a bowl, whisk the Dijon with the sugar.

- Whisk in the vinegar.

- In a slow stream, whisk in the vegetable oil.

- Add the hot sauce and s&p. I added a good amount of pepper. Dressing should be highly seasoned.

- Add the cabbage, apple and carrots to the dressing and toss thoroughly. You can serve immediately but I find it better to let the slaw sit for at least six hours so the flavors could incorporate thoroughly.
