Category: Slaws

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar, or to taste
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2 teaspoons celery seed
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
Salt to taste
1 small head red cabbage, shredded
2 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/4 inch strips
2 green zucchini or green bell pepper, cut into 1/4 inch strips

Whisk together cider vinegar, dark brown sugar, dry mustard, celery seed, cayenne pepper, dill, sour cream, mayonnaise, horseradish and salt. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.

When ready to serve, place the cabbage, bell pepper, and zucchini in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat (see note). Serves 12

Note: To make sure you get the consistency you prefer, begin by tossing the vegetables with less dressing, adding more until the slaw is just right for your tastes.
