Horseradish Apple Parsnip Coleslaw
Author Notes: I love a good coleslaw that has a tiny bit of heat. This one's great with fried foods, pulled pork, steak, sandwiches, burgers, etc. Adapted from Carrot, Parsnip and Granny Smith Apple Coleslaw from the cookbook Apples: A Cookbook by Robert Berkley. - mrslarkin - mrslarkin
Food52 Review: This slaw was a snap to prepare with a food processor. I followed the recipe to the letter, and the results were very good. Adding a few squirts of fresh lemon to the slaw really changes the character of the horseradish-based dressing. The lemon freshens the slaw and melds with the horseradish nicely. Gauge your crowd for horseradish lovers - my husband would have preferred less horseradish, but the taste suited me perfectly. This salad would be very good inside a Reuben or other smoked meat sandwich, or as a side to BBQ. Thanks mrslarkin for such a versatile and flavor-layered recipe! - Bevi - Bevi

prepared horseradish with fresh grated horseradish, hot mustard, apple vinegar, and water. Added some caraway seed and crushed almond slivers at the end. It turned out incredible!

I made this last night and it was delish! I didn't have creme fraiche on hand so I used half mayonnaise half sour cream. No horse radish either, so I added a tsp of fennel seed, coriander seed and celery seed for extra flavour. A little lemon, too and it's safe to say I'm making this again! Next time it won't be such a spur of the moment thing and I might actually have the right ingredients on hand. ;) Amazing!!
