Spicy Beet Slaw Two Ways

We have a lot of beets ready for picking on the farm. Last year, I found a great recipe for "Crimson Slaw" from Bon Appetite online. The directions seemed pretty straight forward but somehow I missed the red cabbage which was listed last in the ingredient list. Pretty funny since this is a slaw recipe. Maybe it was the white space that threw me off?  Anyway, we made it clueless about the cabbage and then made it a third time reducing the horseradish. Everyone loved it with just the onions and beets. This summer I added the cabbage. lol.. Here are both of my versions with and without cabbage. The original recipe can be found at http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/2004/10/crimson_coleslaw
