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
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Finely grate carrot by hand or use shredding disk of food processor.
- Add cabbage and carrot to dressing and toss to mix. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt and vinegar as necessary.
- The slaw tastes best served within a few hours of being made but can be refrigerated, covered, for a day or two.
