Creamy Horseradish Cole Slaw

Cole slaw is a typical side dish during the summer months. It is cold and refreshing and just delicious. You can make cole slaw in numerous different ways and they are all equally as delicious as the other. Every family in the South has their own favorite way of making it.

This recipe, to me, is very reminiscent of KFC cole slaw in a way of sorts. It is not as sweet but has that base flavor that their cole slaw has. Although I don’t consider this a “copycat recipe” it is very similar in flavor. It goes great with any of your summertime dishes.

INGREDIENTS:

5 C. Shredded cabbage
1 Carrot – finely shredded
1 C. Mayo
2 Tbsp. Sugar
2 Tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar (or regular vinegar)
Salt And Pepper – to taste
1 Tbsp. Pure Horseradish puree ( not the blended mix)
1/4 Tsp. Celery Seed
2 Tsp. Dijon Mustard

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Shred the cabbage and the carrot and place in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl whisk together the mayo, sugar, vinegar, salt, pepper, horseradish, celery seed, and mustard. Taste it and adjust the seasoning to your taste.
  3. Pour the sauce over the cabbage and carrot mixture and stir to combine well.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and chill for 1 to 2 hours or until ready to serve. Stir before serving.

  • If you are not a horseradish fan you can omit it or try my other cole slaw recipe on my blog.
  • If you think horseradish is on the spicy side then I suggest starting off with 1 tsp and working your way up from there.
  • I like to use the shredding blade on my food processor to make the cabbage and carrots a more finer grate but you can use a handheld grater. You can also chop it small with a knife.
  • You can make this the day before and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. This will last about 5 to 7 days in the fridge.
