SWEET, HOT MUSTARD SLAW

Sweet, Hot Mustard Slaw image

I enjoy a wide variety of coleslaws, but this mustard slaw may be my fave. The combo of hot and sweet has a proven track record for pleasing palates. Salting and massaging your cabbage first (aka 'cassage') will help draw out water, which sweetens up the flavor, as well as produce a flexible, yet still crunchy texture, which I think is lacking in many other 'chop and mix' recipes. Garnished here with chives and chive blossoms.

PEASANT TURNIP SLAW WITH SWEET HOT MUSTARD DRESSING

Peasant Turnip Slaw With Sweet Hot Mustard Dressing image

I grow turnips for their delicious greens. But I get the roots as a by-product and need to find something to use them for. Not being too fond of cooked, mashed turnips, I'm playing with salad variations. This one is tangy and sweet with just a bit of bite from the sweet hot mustard. "Cooking" time is chilling time.

Note: Can substitute Splenda or preferred artificial sweetener to make this diabetic-friendly.

Tips:

Always use fresh shredded cabbage for the best results, as pre-shredded cabbage can be dry and limp.
Shred the cabbage finely for a more tender slaw. If you prefer a crunchier slaw, shred it more coarsely.
Make sure to squeeze out any excess water from the cabbage before adding it to the other ingredients. This will prevent the slaw from becoming watery.
For a sweeter slaw, add more honey or sugar to taste. For a spicier slaw, add more mustard or red pepper flakes.
To save time, you can use a food processor to shred the cabbage.
This slaw is best served fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Sweet and Hot Mustard Slaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this slaw a try!
