Spicy Cole Slaw

Tonight we decided that we wanted ribs for dinner.  But the question quickly arose on what to serve for sides.  Checking the fridge, I found a cabbage from our CSA basket.  Then it hit me..Cole Slaw! But not just any slaw, one with some bite, some kick, some spice. The perfect contrast to the heat and sweet BBQ sauce on the ribs.

After checking out many recipes across the internet, I came up with the recipe below. It made more than enough slaw for 4 people.  It was a bit much for my stepdaughter, but she doesn't like spice or heat of any kind, so if you have folks with sensitive mouths, I would suggest cutting the amount of dry mustard in half.
