This take on Houston’s Coleslaw recipe is a delicious way to make a very gentle and fresh-tasting homemade coleslaw. This slaw enhances your main course and does not overpower it.

Ingredients

  • 5 cups cabbage chopped into ¼-inch pieces (not shredded, chopped
  • 1 cup parsley medium to small pieces and should not be larger than the cabbage pieces, chopped leaves
  • ¼ cup green onion tops only, chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons buttermilk
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoons brown mustard
  • 1½ teapoon apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon horseradish prepared
  • ½ cup dill pickle relish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, add chopped cabbage, parsley, green onion tops, and salt.  Stir to make the cabbage mix uniform. 
  2. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, buttermilk, sour cream, brown mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, sugar, horseradish, and dill pickle relish. Stir until well blended. 
  3. Drizzle the coleslaw dressing over the cabbage. Stir to coat the cabbage well. 
  4. This may be served immediately, but tastes better when served the second day. 

Notes

  • Please note, Hillstone/Houston's may have changed their recipe within the last year or two (2025.) This recipe reflects the version that was tried and tested in the early 2000s. 
  •  
  • Salt the cabbage - before making the slaw, the salt will pull out the excess moisture and keep your coleslaw super crisp.
  • Adjust seasonings as coleslaw sits - the flavor will change as the flavors mingle together.
  • Don't just serve it as a side! - Coleslaw is great on a burger, or even a hotdog!
