    Description

    This Horseradish Dill Slaw comes together with a classic slaw mix of shredded cabbage and carrots but is anything but ordinary in its flavor profile. Horseradish Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, and fresh dill elevate a classically creamy mayo dressing and give it a tangy, peppery bite. This recipe is tremendous served as a simple side dish or used to top sandwiches, burgers, and wraps -- and it only takes about 5-minutes to assemble!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 12 oz coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
    • 104 g (½ cup) mayo (can sub half of the mayo for plain Greek yogurt if desired)
    • 2 tbsp horseradish Dijon mustard (see notes for swapping in classic Dijon + horseradish cream)
    • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar (may sub for Champagne vinegar or traditional distilled white vinegar)
    • 2 tbsp dill, chopped
    • ¼ tsp Kosher salt
    • Pepper to taste

    Instructions

    1. In a large bowl, combine mayo, horseradish Dijon, vinegar, dill, salt, and a few cracks of pepper, stirring until smooth.
    2. Add the coleslaw mix and fold in until well-combined. Taste for salt and pepper and adjust if needed. If you prefer your slaw on the saucier side, additional mayo can also be added at this time. Serve cold.

    9/2/21 This recipe was updated and may no longer fit specified dietary preferences from previous versions of this post.

    If you have trouble sourcing horseradish Dijon mustard from your local grocery store, you can use traditional Dijon mustard and horseradish cream instead. Because horseradish cream is often more intense on its own, I would start with only 1 teaspoon of horseradish cream and work your way up, adjusting according to your taste preference. Traditional Dijon mustard can be added in at the 2 tablespoon measurement unless you prefer to partially subtract for the horseradish cream.

      Until I started studying about horseradish and Northern Italian cuisine I didn't know it was a huge hit there. I always did like the taste and kick it gave dishes. This slaw sounds wonderful with the dill - spicy rather than sweet.

      Adding that horseradish is a really nice spin! I can definitely see this layered on top of a fried chicken sandwich or burger!
