Crunchy red cabbage and tender beets join forces in this vibrant, Nordic-inspired slaw. Refrigerated cooked beets, found in the supermarket’s produce section, make this a breeze to prepare. For ease, we also use refrigerated prepared horseradish instead of harder-to-find fresh (don’t use horseradish sauce, which is more of a condiment). Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled. We love it with grilled or roasted meats, especially pork or lamb, and poultry.

Tip

Don’t skip salting the cabbage and letting it stand. This draws out excess moisture while seasoning the cabbage. Make sure to pour off and discard any liquid released—otherwise, it will dilute the slaw.

A new favorite cole slaw!
Wonderful flavors! I added more walnuts for taste and texture.

I love this salad!
I make this all the time I love it so much. It’s great even without the walnuts. I omit the mayo for my vegan guests. Goes well with so many main proteins. I’ve served with salmon, chicken, fried fish, and quiche.
