01
Step 1
Start by mixing the cider vinegar, dark brown sugar, dry mustard, celery seed, cayenne pepper, dill, sour cream, mayonnaise, horseradish, and salt in a bowl. Give it a good whisk until everything is well combined. Cover the dressing and pop it in the fridge for at least two hours, or even better, overnight to let the flavors really come together.

Step 2
When you’re ready to put everything together, grab a large bowl and add the cabbage, bell pepper, and zucchini. Pour the chilled dressing over the veggies and toss everything gently until it’s all nicely coated. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if you need to, then dig in!
