Sweet, Hot Mustard Slaw
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.
π Recipe adapted from AllRecipes
Halve and quarter the head of cabbage and cut out the core.
Slice across into 1/2-inch ribbons.
Place cabbage in a bowl and sprinkle in salt.
Massage cabbage until it begins to soften, about 1 minute.
Let rest for 10 minutes, tossing occasionally.
Transfer cabbage to a colander and rinse well under cold water.
Let drain thoroughly.
Mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, grain mustard, honey, cayenne pepper, and vinegar together in a large bowl.
Squeeze cabbage as dry as possible and add to the dressing.
Mix until thoroughly combined.
Cover top in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Toss and taste before serving.
