I love coleslaw and I would make it all of the time if there was more interest in my family. Gene was not crazy about it so I rarely made it unless we had a crowd and I had potato salad and all of the other goodies too. Now, I am making small portions so I can continue to enjoy it 🙂 I am surprised I have not posted this yet but I have been straying away from publishing my older recipes and opting for new ones!
JuJu's Favorite Coleslaw
- green cabbage, cut in wedges and shredded (about 8 cups)
- carrot, shredded to add some color (I did use carrots from my garden)
- a couple pieces of onion, shredded together with the cabbage and carrot (optional and I always add)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (I did use low fat)
- 1/4 cup sugar, or more to taste
- 1/3 cup milk (I did use skim)
- 3 tbsp. white vinegar
- 2-1/2 heaping tsp. horseradish (more or less to taste – pure horseradish roots that have vinegar and salt in it)
- 1/4 – 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
You can easily cut this recipe in half and as always make it to your taste. I like to use my food processor for the shredding and I put wedges through the feeder 3 times as I like small pieces of cabbage. I will also put in the carrot and a little onion with a wedge or two of cabbage and process it together. This is one of the times I wish I had a bigger feed tube as it does get a little messy putting the shredded cabbage in three times.
Combine the rest of the ingredients and add to the cabbage mixture. Stir well and chill until serving. Serve with a slotted spoon as it will become watery.

These are my “Short n’ Sweet” carrots from Burpee. The bowl on the left shows the cabbage after the first pass through the food processor and then the third!
Sounds like a really tasty cole slaw with a punch of horseradish. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Liz – horseradish to taste – I like a little “kick” to mine 🙂
I’m not a huge cole slaw fan, but this looks really good, Judi. Not too thick with dressing, and looks perfect for a summer meal with a hamburger. Love your carrots!
Thanks – this is a lighter cole slaw and does not have a heavy dressing. My carrots are cute – I try to grow the smaller varieties and these are perfect for a small raised bed garden 🙂
Yes, I was thinking the carrots will be perfect for next year’s raised bed garden. They also have a small round variety of carrots I will have to look into. It won’t require the bed to be that deep either. 🙂
The ball ones are called Thumbelina and would be perfect 🙂 The “Short n’ Sweet are 4-5 inches long!
Wowm what a refreshing coleslaw, i think i want some with my barbequed baby back ribs….
Thanks – they would be good along any barbecued dish, ribs would be a great choice 🙂
This would go so well with some grilled burgers Judi! Looks light & refreshing 🙂
Coleslaw as a side is perfect with any grilled food – we just had it with turkey burgers, grilled corn and some baked beans which I cooked all on the grill (except the coleslaw of course) 🙂
Horse radish in coleslaw, that is my kind of coleslaw too. 😛
Fae – I agree – horseradish gives some nice flavor 🙂
This looks like it would be a major hit at a barbecue, need to keep this recipe!
Thanks – I hope you try it! For me coleslaw is a must at a barbecue 🙂
I love Coleslaw!The idea of adding Horse radish,.thats new to me!!Will surely try it next time I make coleslaw!
Thanks – I enjoy it too! Add the horseradish to taste… 🙂
