coleslaw recipes please

[psocoptera]

I have fortuitously ended up with two half-heads of cabbage* and an office cookout on Friday. I would like to make a really kick-ass coleslaw; a coleslaw with some sort of special element distinguishing it from mere run-of-the-mill cabbage drowning in mayonnaise. Anyone out there with a great recipe?

*One green, one purple, leftover from a cabbage-apple-leek soup that I have turned out not to like much.

You put quantities in your recipe. That was really, really awesome of you. I have now made this coleslaw (slightly frantically) and it seems to be pretty good, if a little sharp, but that's probably because I screwed up and got too much mustard. Thanks!

I prefer my coleslaw sharp so it probably doesn't have too much mustard for me. But my grandma used to level things out with a teaspoon of sugar. Don't muck about with it, that's my advice but I put this in for what it is worth.
