Spicy Curry Coleslaw

One of the items in my PO box this week was a small head of cabbage.  I found a couple of really cool looking recipes, but landed on one similar to what I ended up making. I made some minor tweeks to make it almost fat-free and change the sauce proportions to be more to my taste.  The end result is fabulous!  I could also see tossing some raisins in to this which would be incredibly good.  I ate my slaw along with my chili.

Spicy Curry Coleslaw
1 small head of green cabbage. finely sliced
1 carrot, grated
1 large red jalapeno, minced
 for the dressing:
3 TBS curry powder [update 4/24/10 - substitute 1 tbs curry, 1 tbs cinnamon, and 1 tbs cumin]
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 lemon, squeezed
4 TBS red wine vinegar
2 TBS Dijon mustard
2 packets equal

Place your cut veggies in a large bowl and set aside. Fry the curry powder with the olive oil under high heat until just fragrant. Add it to the rest of the dressing ingredients and whisk until combined.  Add to your chopped veggies and toss well.
