Why come up with your own 'slaw when it's already been perfected? A bit of horseradish for bite, some sugar to balance it out- it's famous for a reason, so take advantage and let it be your little secret.

ingredients

10 cups coarsely shredded red and green cabbage
1/4 cup shredded carrot
2 cups Miracle Whip salad dressing
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon celery seeds

directions

Combine the shredded cabbage and carrot in a large bowl and mix well.

In another bowl, whisk together the salad dressing, sugar, horseradish, dry mustard, white pepper, salt, garlic powder, and celery seeds. Stir the dressing mixture into the cabbage and carrots.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 6 hours. Stir before serving. If the coleslaw seems dry after refrigeration, stir in some additional salad dressing as needed.

  1. Snook

    This sounds like a knockout recipe! Lots of zingy flavor-can't wait to try. Thanks!

  2. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    Did not like. Way too much pepper.

  3. homecook REVIEW:

    I was afraid that the horseradish would be too much but it wasn't and was balanced out well. I think the recipe is missing a measurement though, it just says 1/4 celery seeds I think that's supposed to be 1/4 teaspoon? That's what I used anyway and I don't think you'd want to use more than that. And actually I might just use celery salt next time and reduce the regular salt.

  4. score REVIEW:

    I think this is exactly like Famous Dave's!

  5. Hasty REVIEW:

    Very Good coleslaw. Love the zing from the horseradish. Fast and easy to make.

  6. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    I made this recipe for a party and everyone loves it!!!

    I am sure this is a great recipe for coleslaw but it is not like famous daves where I live. The resturant version has no celery seed or red cabbage and I am postive it has crushed pineapple dried parsely and chopped onion. I am sorry to say I do not have the recipe either.

    • : Just FYI: Some restaurant chains vary their recipes based on local/regional preferences so that could be the difference (they also sometimes change their recipes over time so copy cat recipes could be from an older menu).

  8. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    Loved this recipe, did not have horseraddish, but did have chinese hot mustard, dry with wasabi. Now this was great change. Everyone loved!

  9. Dooberdog REVIEW:

    I hate to chop so used the food processor and followed the directions. It was quick and easy and the family loved it. It has replaced my old family recipe!
