Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, dark brown sugar, dry mustard, celery seed, cayenne pepper, dried dill weed, sour cream, mayonnaise, horseradish, and salt. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. (2 hours)

03

Step

Just before serving, combine the shredded red cabbage, yellow bell pepper strips, and zucchini strips in a large bowl. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Pour the chilled dressing over the vegetables and toss gently until everything is evenly coated. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. (5 minutes)

For the best texture, it's crucial to dress the slaw just before serving. This prevents the vegetables from becoming soggy.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste.
If you don't have dark brown sugar, you can substitute light brown sugar or even granulated sugar, though the flavor profile will be slightly different.
Consider adding other colorful vegetables like shredded carrots or purple cabbage for even more visual appeal.
