Vegan Gastonia Barbecue Slaw

As far as I know, this slaw is unique to Gastonia. If you're from the Gastonia area, you'll certainly recognize this slaw from R.O.'s or Black's. Yeah... I know both restaurant's takes on this slaw are slightly different, but they have more in common with each other than they do any other barbecue slaw.  What you'll find here is my own vegan take on it. I think it's delicious and I hope you'll agree.
Use it as a dip or make toasted sandwiches like you would get at one of the aforementioned Gastonia restaurants... just use Tofurky slices (or some similar vegan product) instead of dead-animal slices.


Ingredients
1 Medium Cabbage
1 Tbsp. Paprika
½ Cup Sweet Relish
1 Cup Hampton Creek Just Mayo
1 Cup Tomato Catsup
3 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
4 Oz. Diced Pimentos, drained
½ Tsp. Cayenne Red Pepper
½ Tsp. Chili Powder
1 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard
2 Tsp. Fresh Ground Black Pepper
 Tsp. Salt
Tsp.  Hot Sauce (Texas Pete or similar)
Steps
1   1) Roughly chop cabbage, add to blender, and blend - you ultimately want a finely grated consistency.
     2) Add remaining ingredients to blender and mix thoroughly.
