Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 1 (large, grated) Carrot
- 0.25 (small, thinly sliced) Red onion
- 0.5 cup (crumbled) Gorgonzola cheese
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, grated carrot, and thinly sliced red onion. Toss gently to mix evenly.
In a separate smaller bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss gently using tongs or a large spoon to coat all the vegetables evenly.
Add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese to the coleslaw and gently fold it in, being careful not to break up the cheese too much.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the coleslaw to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve chilled as a side dish and enjoy your Buttermilk and Gorgonzola Coleslaw!
