I am a fan of different types of coleslaw. The typical one that comes to mind at first is the mayo based slaw that you probably ate from KFC a billion times growing up. I am also partial to the vinegar type that is popular in North Carolina, especially on top of or served with pulled pork.
This was a different type entirely. It used oil as the fat (despite the no mayo, I'm not sure it's any less caloric), some vinegar, but the main taste was spicyness. I added red pepper flakes and cayenne, although another option was to use diced jalapenos. In addition to the cabbage, there was red pepper, which I diced.
For some reason, this just didn't seem like it came together. On paper I would've thought that I would really like it, but it was just very forgettable. I brought it to a party, people picked at it and said it was good, but there was a ton left. I couldn't really get excited about eating the leftovers, and I ended up throwing a bunch away after it went bad. It's not that it was bad, it just wasn't really good either.
Modifications: Adjust spice, use jalapenos
Make again?: No. There are better bases to start from.
