Ingredients

  • 8 cups cabbage red or green
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayo
  • 3 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
  • ¼ tsp. pepper adjust to taste
  • ½ cup fresh herbs or 1 Tbsp. dried herbs such as chives or parsley optional

Instructions

  • Remove the dirty or damaged outer leaves from 1-2 heads of cabbage and discard.
  • Cut the cabbage(s) in half and cut into thin shreds with a knife. One head of cabbage yields about 8 cups. You can use 1 head red or green or ½ head red and ½ head green.
  • Place the shredded cabbage in a large bowl.

For The Blue Cheese Dressing:

  • Combine ¾ cup sour cream, ¼ cup mayo, 3 Tbsp. lemon juice, 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce, and ¼ tsp. each of kosher salt and pepper in a small bowl. Stir until completely combined using a fork or small whisk.
  • Add 1 cup of blue cheese crumbles to the dressing and stir until completely combined.
  • Mince ½ cup fresh herbs such as chives or parsley (or use 1 Tbsp. dried herbs) and add to the dressing. Stir until combined. (This step is optional).
  • Pour as much or as little of the dressing over the cabbage as you like and toss until completely combined.
  • Place the coleslaw in the fridge for an hour or so before serving if possible.

Notes

The dressing can be adjusted to your liking. Feel free to add more lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, or blue cheese crumbles as you see fit.
You can use as much or as little of the dressing as you like. Any extra dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days and can be used as a dipping sauce or salad dressing.
This recipe can be cut in half if you don't need this much coleslaw.
Pre-cut bagged cabbage can be used in place of fresh cabbage but it may not retain its crunchiness as long.
