Ingredients
- 5 cups chopped cabbage - chopped into ¼-inch pieces (not shredded)
- 1 cup Chopped Parsley Leaves (medium to small pieces and should not be larger than the cabbage pieces)
- ¼ cup chopped green onions tops only
- 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 prepared horseraddish
- ½ cup dill pickle relish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add chopped cabbage, parsley, green onion tops, and salt. Stir to make the cabbage mix uniform.
- 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.
- Drizzle the coleslaw dressing over the cabbage. Stir to coat the cabbage well.
- 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!
