Whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, hot sauce, and celery seeds in small bowl.
Refrigerate until ready to dress the slaw.
Using the shred blade of a food processor, feed chunks of green cabbage through the tube until all cabbage is shredded. (Note: You can also shred by hand with a sharp knife).
Using a box grater, grate the carrots using the large holes of the grate. This gives the correct size carrots that you need for a crunchy coleslaw. (Note: The shred blade of the food processor results in too thin/small shreds).
Combine cabbage and carrot in a large bowl. Sprinkle with sugar and salt and toss to combine. Let stand five minutes, then transfer to a large colander and rinse thoroughly under cold running water.
Transfer vegetables to a salad spinner and spin dry. Alternatively, transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet lined with a triple layer of paper towels or a clean kitchen towel and blot mixture dry with more towels. Return to large bowl.
Pour dressing over vegetables and toss to coat. Adjust seasoning to taste with salt, pepper, and/or sugar.
Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. |
