directions

  • Mix all the ingredients for the dressing together and set aside.
  • Shred the cabbage and carrot; I then sometimes take a hand chopper and chop it up a little more as I like it a little finer.
  • Add the dressing to the cabbage and carrots till you have the moisture that you like--it tightens up a little as it sits.
  • Refrigerate for about 2 hours to blend the flavors.
  • Enjoy!

  1. Mimi, This dressing is outstanding. Love the horseradish kick! Made with some pre-packed coleslaw mix. Delish! Thanks for posting this keeper!
     
  2. I cut this down to four servings and left out the optional horseradish, but otherwise made the recipe as directed. I found that all of the dressing was needed for the consistency of cole slaw I wanted. It was good enough, just nothing that made me sit up and go "wow!"
