This turned out very nicely. I cut the recipe to 2/3 the size and it still made quite a lot. It was a bit tangier from the mustard than I'm used to in a slaw, but the tang went very well with the peppers. I confess I didn't measure (although I'm pretty good at eyeballing measurements, I think), so it's possible I used a bit less sugar than called for or otherwise threw off the dressing proportions a tad. The store was out of scallions so I threw in about 1/3 of a red onion sliced very thin and broken into its individual rings. Rather than use a head of cabbage I bought pre-shredded stuff, and I suspect I used rather less cabbage than the recipe calls for; I ran out of room in the bowl. Finally, rather than Dijon mustard, which I don't care for, I used a jalapeno mustard that's yellow-brown. (That probably also has something to do with the flavor profile I ended up with, and I'm not at all sorry I made the change.) This recipe is going into the rotation; it's a keeper!
