MOM'S COLESLAW WITH A KICK
My mother developed this recipe for my father to enjoy while watching sports on T.V. We called sports day meals "indoor picnics". My father loved spicy foods (as do the rest of the family), so my mother kicked this up a notch with mustard seed and mustard powder. My parents had 10 children, and took in many others over the...

KITTENCAL'S FAMOUS COLESLAW
This is the most delicious coleslaw that you will ever have! I make this for weddings, large socials and in the summer for BBQ's and parties, and there is never anything left it all goes and everyone wants the recipe --- plan ahead the coleslaw needs to be refrigerated for the stated time to blend the flavors, this coleslaw will intensify in flavor with chilling time --- this is not a thick heavy dressing like some other coleslaw recipes it's the perfect texture and flavor and what makes this coleslaw stand out from all others is the fresh lemon juice so please use only fresh I have used bottled in the past and it is just not the same --- the dressing amount will yield enough for two 16-ounce packages prepared coleslaw mix or 1 head of green cabbage --- for one 16-ounce package prepared coleslaw mix use the dressing amounts posted on bottom of recipe and add in 3 or more large of chopped green onions.

EASY COLESLAW WITH A KICK!
This is a recipe that gives regular old coleslaw a spicy kick. Very easy to make with great results! If you have never had wasabi, please, start out with a teaspoon and work your way up from there. Wasabi is Japanese horseradish and it is powerful stuff! But it sure does goes well with the rest of the ingredients.

Steps:
- Mix everything but the coleslaw together.
- Pay special attention to be sure the wasabi is well blended. A trick I learned that works very well, is to put all the ingredients but the coleslaw mix into a big ziploc bag, then squish, shake, and massage the ingredients into a nice smooth blend.
- Then add the coleslaw mix and the ingredients together in a large bowl and mix well.
- Cover and put it in the fridge for a couple hours to overnight to allow all the flavors to blend inches It will be soupy on the bottom, but the salad will be crisp.

Tips:
- For a crispier coleslaw, use a mandoline or food processor to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots.
- To save time, use a pre-packaged coleslaw mix.
- If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- For a creamier coleslaw, add 1/2 cup of mayonnaise to the dressing.
- For a tangier coleslaw, add 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the dressing.
- For a spicier coleslaw, add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the dressing.
- Serve coleslaw immediately or chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
