Preparation
- Step 1
Trim the cabbage, removing and discarding any damaged parts, and shred it on a slicer or by cutting it into thin slices with a sharp knife. (You should have 8 to 9 lightly packed cups of cabbage.) Shred the carrots. (You should have 1 ½ lightly packed cups of carrots.)
- Step 2
In a bowl large enough to hold the finished coleslaw, mix together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, poppy seeds, Tabasco and curry powder. Add the cabbage and carrots, and mix well. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate. The coleslaw will keep for up to one day.

A great make ahead pot luck dish - easily doubled or tripled. Bag the shredded vegetables, jar the dressing and mix at the party. I adjust the sugar according to the sweetness of my mayonnaise and increased the curry according to the freshness (or lack of) mine. Being served with lamb sandwiches for Super Bowl.
I am from, and still live in, Texas and have had a lot of coleslaw in my lifetime. I was a bit curious about the curry and Tabasco. I made this using a 14 oz. bag of "Coleslaw Mix" (cabbage and carrots). Honestly, this is the best coleslaw I've ever had and this will probably be the only recipe I will ever make. It is great by itself, but it would be wonderful on fish tacos or burgers. The curry and Tabasco are not overpowering, but lend a perfect accompaniment to the other ingredients.
had some leftover fresh dill-finely chopped and added. WOW! was also out of two ingredients and subbed Aleppo pepper and red wine vinegar. perhaps a little sweeter than usual but really loved the Aleppo kick!
This is an absolutely wonderful recipe - easy and delicious. The combination of curry and tabasco is surprising, but so dang tasty. Cabbage is good for you and we've been making great headway routinely eating it over the years, mostly thanks to this recipe.
I love Jacques Pepin. He constantly shows us that cooking doesn’t have to be complicated. This recipe is a great demonstration of that. This became our ‘go to’ coleslaw recipe this summer. Sometimes with tweaks, mostly not, depending on what’s in the fridge. Simple and tasty is a great combination!
