I wanted to make a slaw that would be a good accompaniment to BBQ chicken and corn, adding a little acid and tang to the meal. There's a good crunch from the veggies, tang from the mustard and the right amount of acid from the vinegar and the lime juice. The sugar adds a little sweet. And I wanted it to be a lighter version of the slaws made with mayonnaise based dressings.
