12 large eggs
3 c. chopped purple cabbage
1 c. distilled vinegar
1 tbsp. granulated sugar

1 tbsp. dijon mustard
1 tsp. hot sauce
1 tsp. cajun seasoning

Place peeled eggs into a large bowl and pour cabbage liquid over. Refrigerate at least 3 hours and up to overnight.
Halve eggs and place yolks in a medium bowl. Add mayonnaise, mustard, and hot sauce to yolks and mash with a fork until smooth. Season with cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
