Ingredients

2 (16-ounce) packages tri-color shredded coleslaw mix
1/2 sweet onion, very thinly sliced
1 tomato, seeded and finely diced
1 cup mayonnaise ((I prefer Duke's))
1 to 3 tablespoons mild vinegar-based pepper sauce* ((like Trappey's - also called peppers in vinegar))
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

In a large bowl, toss the coleslaw mix, onion, and tomato together.
In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise and the pepper sauce together until smooth. Start with 1 tablespoon of the pepper sauce and increase it based on you taste or the heat level of the sauce. Add the salt and black pepper and mix well.
Add the dressing to the vegetables and mix well. The coleslaw may seem a bit dry at this point. Allow to rest in the fridge for about 20 minutes. The flavors will develop and the dressing with marry with the juices from the cabbage and make even more dressing. Stir again before serving adjusting seasoning and adding additional pepper sauce or mayo if desired.
