Horseradish Slaw

Often recipes have a little trick that takes them from good to amazing. When you’re making coleslaw the magic twist is to break up the cabbage by working it between your fingers so it becomes juicy. Try it – you won’t believe how it transforms your slaw.

Prep time 20 mins
Serves 6-8

Ingredients

  • ¼ large, firm cabbage, sliced as thinly as possible
  • 2 stalks celery, finely sliced
  • ½ green pepper, very finely chopped
  • 2 spring onions, very finely chopped
  • ¼ cup very finely chopped parsley leaves
  • 1 tbsp poppy or nigella seeds

    • 1 tbsp sugar
    • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
    • ½ cup boutique extra virgin olive oil
    • salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Method

  1. To make Horseradish Dressing, place all ingredients in a small jar and shake to combine. Store in the fridge for up to a week and use with all kinds of vegetables.
  2. To make the slaw, place the sliced cabbage in a large bowl and work between your fingers to break up fibres and soften. Add remaining ingredients and toss to combine. If not serving at once, cover and chill for up to 24 hours. Just before serving, toss through Horseradish Dressing.
