The Bold Ingredient That Adds A Good Kick To Regular Coleslaw
By Jessica Fleming-Montoya
To give your coleslaw a bold upgrade, add horseradish for a strong, pungent flavor that gives the dish some noticeable punch and dimension.
A reasonable amount won't overpower your coleslaw's other flavors since the dish's creamy dressing can balance the kick of horseradish.
If you opt for prepared horseradish, which is typically a combination of horseradish and vinegar, use 1 to 3 tablespoons on your coleslaw.
For a stronger and spicier kick, simply grate fresh horseradish root directly onto your coleslaw. Use half of the amount you would use for prepared horseradish.
If you're unsure of your tolerance for horseradish, it's best to start with less and slowly add more until you reach your preferred level of spiciness.
