The Coleslaw Project takes its first steps.

Step 1 was to pick a starting recipe for baseline purposes.  For reasons discussed here I started with a Bobby Flay recipe.

Sadly, I improvised.  I didn’t have cabbage, just Napa cabbage.  And I inadvertently put in two tablespoons of dry (Colemans!) mustard instead of one.

Result? Nasal-passage cleansing coleslaw with not quite the right texture.

Here’s how it looks.  Decent texture, but definitely not cabbage-based coleslaw.

The mayonnaise (home-made) was great.  You could taste it.

So coming up, try the recipe again, this time with the right ingredients.

(Debbie liked it despite the horseradish-esque “notes”.)
