Ingredients

  • ½ head of cabbage approximately 1 pound
  • 1 small white onion
  • 1 medium carrot peeled
  • 1 jalapeño pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Creamy Dressing

  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons horseradish
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon red chili powder a blend of habanero and Hawaiian hots recommended
  • 1 teaspoon celery seeds

Instructions

  • Begin by shredding the cabbage, carrot, onion, and jalapeño pepper into thin strips and placing them in a large mixing bowl. If preferred, finely chop the vegetables using a sharp chef’s knife for a more rustic texture.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, horseradish, sugar, chili powder, celery seeds, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir vigorously until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
  • Pour the spicy, creamy dressing over the prepared vegetables. Mix thoroughly until every strand and slice is evenly coated in the flavorful mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to blend and deepen. Serve chilled as a bold, refreshing side with a spicy kick.
