This classic coleslaw brings together the creamy richness of mayonnaise and sour cream with the bright acidity of cider vinegar and fresh lemon juice. The addition of brown mustard, dry mustard, and a touch of drained horseradish adds a subtle, sophisticated heat that cuts through the fat, while celery seed provides an earthy backbone. It’s a versatile side dish that pairs beautifully with grilled meats, sandwiches, or BBQ. The texture is crisp yet tender, and the flavors meld beautifully when given time to chill. Perfect for summer picnics, holiday gatherings, or a quick weeknight dinner. Simple to make, yet full of complex, home-style flavor that everyone will love.
