By The Gourmet Farm Girl



1 medium size head of green cabbage (chopped or shredded)

1 stalk celery (chopped)

1 large carrot (chopped)

1 small white onion (chopped0

1/2 cup mayonnaise (Hellmann's) or your favorite

1 cup salad dressing (Miracle Whip Light) or your favorite

2 tablespoons yellow mustard

3 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon cracked black pepper

3-4 tablespoon pure horseradish (drained) more if desired

If cabbage is picked from the garden; soak cabbage in a large bowl of salt water for 20-30 minutes to remove any bugs.

Remove outer leaves and cut into wedges; cut out and remove the stem; chop into bite size pieces

Place chopped cabbage into a large glass bowl and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt; toss and set aside for 1-1 1/2 hours to draw out excess water.

Mix the mayo, salad dressing, mustard, horseradish, pepper and honey together in a small mixing bowl; set aside

Chop celery, carrot and onion; set aside

Pour salted cabbage into a large colander and drain, rinse with cold water to remove salt; drain well by gently pushing on cabbage to remove water. (or drain on paper towels)

Add the chopped vegetables and stir in dressing mixture; refrigerate for several hours before serving.

Great dish to make ahead!

Note: The horseradish gives this dish a unique flavor, don't be afraid to add more. 

Serve with fresh sliced tomatoes.

  

Serves 6-8

ENJOY!
