I’ve tried many versions of blue cheese coleslaw, and this one is the best in my opinion. If you love piquant flavors and a good chopped slaw, this blue cheese horseradish coleslaw is one recipe you’ll want to bookmark.  The ratio of horseradish to mayo, along with the blue cheese, works like a charm to make a flavor-packed dressing that just works beautifully to dress the cabbage, tomatoes & onions.

In the video below, I show how to assemble the ingredients to make this blue cheese horseradish coleslaw.

Chop your own cabbage

This recipe calls for real cabbage~chopped by hand. This is a super easy task that takes less than 5 minutes and makes all the difference in the world. Simply remove outer leaves, slice cabbage into thin “discs” or pancake looking slices, and then coarsely chop into small but uneven pieces. You want the heft of hand chopped, so resist the urge to use bagged coleslaw or to use the food processor.

What goes well with blue cheese coleslaw?

I made and served this blue cheese horseradish coleslaw with my friend Bobby’s Boston Butt on the Big Green Egg. This slaw would be perfect as a topping or side for grilled burgers since horseradish and blue cheese pair so well with beef. I also think it would be a perfect side to go with French Dip sandwiches or BBQ sandwiches as well.

Blue cheese coleslaw is easy to make ahead.

The cabbage, green onions and tomatoes can be prepped a day ahead and stored in separate plastic bags. The dressing can be made a day ahead and refrigerated. The entire coleslaw can be assembled and sprinkled with remaining blue cheese an hour or so before serving.

My Serving bowl: So many have asked me about this Beatrix Ball white melamine bowl, so I’ll share the details here. I found this one at At Home Furnishings locally but have purchased several others as gifts through Nordstrom. I have the platters and salad tongs as well. This is the prettiest white melamine I’ve seen.

I would love to hear from any of you who try this blue cheese horseradish coleslaw. As always, thanks so much for stopping by. Be blessed, and stay savvy!!!
