Broccoli-Apple Slaw
The creamy-tangy combo of vinegar and mayo gets an added boost of zing from prepared horseradish. For longer shelf life, broccoli slaw is a heartier option than traditional shredded cabbage. It will sit and absorb flavors without turning into a soggy mess. Tart honeycrisp is a juicy addition to traditional slaw, but you could substitute with sweeter Honeycrisp or Gala.

Salmon with Potatoes and Horseradish Sauce
You’ll be surprised at the sophistication of this 5-ingredient dish, which is easy, elegant, and beautiful. You can honestly never go wrong when you start with salmon and a sour cream sauce, especially if that sauce is flavored with dill and horseradish. Fill out the plate and complete the meal with a side of steamed asparagus or haricots verts (slender French green beans), or barely wilted spinach or Swiss chard. If you have a mandoline in your kitchen, use it—carefully—on the potatoes to make the job of slicing go faster.
