Add a zesty twist to your classic side dish with this Horseradish Coleslaw with Apples—a perfect balance of creamy, tangy, and refreshing flavors. This vibrant coleslaw combines the crunch of green and red cabbage, the sweetness of julienned Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples, and the earthy notes of shredded carrots. The real star, though, is the bold horseradish-infused dressing made with Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, and a hint of honey for just the right touch of sweetness. Finished with a splash of apple cider vinegar and Dijon mustard for a tangy kick, this coleslaw is the ultimate pairing for grilled meats, barbecue platters, or hearty sandwiches. Make it ahead for a crowd-pleasing, chilled side dish that gets better as the flavors meld. Perfect for picnics, cookouts, or anytime you need a fresh, flavorful touch!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots. Toss to mix evenly.
Add the julienned Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples to the bowl with the vegetables. Mix gently to combine.
In a medium bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, prepared horseradish, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well incorporated.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage, carrot, and apple mixture. Toss thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or horseradish if desired.
Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a gentle toss. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve chilled as a flavorful side dish to complement grilled meats, sandwiches, or barbecue.
