Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup carrots, grated
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables by thoroughly washing the green cabbage and carrots under cold running water.
- Using a sharp knife or mandoline, carefully shred the green cabbage into thin, uniform strips, ensuring pieces are approximately 1/4 inch wide.
- Grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor, creating fine, even shreds that will blend well with the cabbage.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and grated carrots, tossing them together to create an even distribution.
- In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, prepared horseradish, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture, using a spatula or large spoon to thoroughly coat all vegetables.
- Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and develop before serving.
- Before serving, give the coleslaw a final gentle stir and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve chilled as a side dish or accompaniment to grilled meats, sandwiches, or as a refreshing salad.
Tips
- Texture is Key: For the crunchiest coleslaw, slice your cabbage as thinly as possible and avoid letting it sit too long before serving.
- Horseradish Heat Control: Adjust the amount of prepared horseradish to match your spice tolerance. Start with less and add more gradually.
- Chill for Maximum Flavor: Let the coleslaw rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together perfectly.
- Fresh is Best: Use the freshest vegetables possible for the most vibrant and crisp coleslaw.
- Make Ahead Friendly: This coleslaw can be prepared up to a day in advance, making it perfect for meal prep or potlucks.
