Crimson Coleslaw

From the kitchen of Carly

Grated beets and horseradish kick this coleslaw into high gear, sharp and earthy against wilted red cabbage that's still got some snap. Balsamic vinegar rounds everything out while you get a real vegetable situation happening, not just rabbit food.

Ingredients

4 servings

  • 15 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 13 tablespoons cherry balsamic vinegar* or regular balsamic vinegar
  • 12 tablespoons prepared white horseradish
  • 11 cup (packed) coarsely grated peeled raw fresh beets (2 medium)
  • 11 cup paper-thin slices red onion
  • 18 cups very thinly sliced red cabbage (about 1 1/4 pounds)

Instructions

  1. Whisk 4 tablespoons oil, vinegar, and horseradish in large bowl to blend. Add beets and onion; toss to blend.

  2. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cabbage and toss until wilted and just crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Stir into beet mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let stand 10 minutes before serving, stirring occasionally.

  3. This vinegar can be found at specialty foods stores. Regular balsamic can be substituted.
