Homemade ColeSlaw Dressing

I use this homemade coleslaw dressing for broccoli slaw as well.It goes wonderfully with both of them. The addition of horseradish makes all the difference in this dressing. If you can not find horseradish you can substitute it perfectly with Wasabi paste. Wasabi paste is the green paste that is served with sushi.

Although it is more affordable to slice your own cabbage and shred your own carrots, I find that buying the prepackaged slaw is not all that more money. You can usually purchase a 16 oz.bag for around $1.99. It will save you lots of time!

This dressing will last you for a few days in a closed container in the fridge.

Here is what you are going to need for this perfect homemade cole slaw dressing:

Serves six – Makes about 1 1/2 cups Cole slaw dressing
1 16 oz. bag of prepackaged Cole slaw or broccoli slaw
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon celery seeds

Place the mayonnaise in a bowl. Whisk in the sugar until smooth. Add the horseradish and the vinegar, whisking constantly. Add the celery seeds and mix well.

Place the vegetables in a bowl. Add the dressing and coat well. Place in the refrigerator for at least an hour. Serve with barbecued ribs, hamburgers, chicken or any of your favorite dishes! Enjoy!

  • This has to be by far the best recipe for coleslaw dressing out there. I used to use mustard, but it left more of a yellowish overwelming mustard taste, despit not using that much and overcompensating for more milk and dressing. The horseradish and celery seeds really compliment each other and it has more of a creamy and tangy taste insead of a yellowish mustard/tart taste. FYI, the “frugal lady” really knows her stuff. I use her recipes with most side dishes that I prepare today.
