Sweet and Spicy Coleslaw

For our 23rd Anniversary, David decided to treat me to a homecooked meal of baby-back ribs and coleslaw. He purchased a new smoker/grill and researched lots of recipes for rubs, sauces and coleslaw. This is the amazing coleslaw recipe he found in Mens Health magazine courtesy of Neely's Bar-B-Que in Memphis, TN.

2 lbs green cabbage
4 carrots
1 medium yellow onion
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup mustard
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 cup sugar
1 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Quarter the cabbage and remove the core. Cut the carrots and onion into chunks. Grate the vegetables in a food processor using the large holed grater attachment. Then toss them together in a large bowl. For the dressing, whisk together the remaining ingredients. Toss the dressing with the vegetables, add salt and pepper to taste, and chill at least 2 hours. Makes 6-8 servings.
