Interesting, delicious mix of flavors. Not your usual coleslaw. Many people who don't like coleslaw are surprised that they like this.

Ingredients

Slaw

  • 1 head cabbage shredded or chopped
  • 1 bunch green onions chopped
  • 1 cup cilantro
  • 1 apple chopped

Dressing

  • 1-1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons horseradish sauce or 1 teaspoon of grated horseradish
  • 4 oz. blue cheese or Gorgonzola
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • chili powder to taste
  • crushed garlic or garlic powder to taste
  • ground pepper to taste

Instructions

Dressing

  1. Mix the dressing ingredients together and let sit until you have the slaw mixture ready.

Slaw

  1. Grate or chop cabbage. If making ahead, sprinkle a generous amount of salt over the shredded cabbage, let sit for an hour or more (overnight is good) in a colander over a plate, then gently press and drain off excess liquid (salad spinner works if the cabbage isn't grated too small). If you use this method (I suggest you do), adjust salt in recipe according to taste.
  2. Add onions, cilantro, and apple to cabbage, mix well.
  3. Add some of the dressing to the cabbage mixture and combine. Because cabbage heads vary so much in size, hold back some of the dressing to determine if you need it all.
