A cookout and picnic classic finds a new lease on life by the shores of the Mediterranean. Homemade Italian seasoning is perhaps the key to this dish; it’s light and even more zesty and aromatic than anything you could find at the store. That seasoning is the perfect accompaniment to the creamy, tangy cabbage mixture, accented with horseradish for spice and fennel for a distinct aroma. Italy Coleslaw is like your favorite side dish taking a vacation and bringing your taste buds along for the ride!
