Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 0.25 medium Yellow onion
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.3 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1.5 tablespoons White vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables: Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and rinse it thoroughly. Then, finely chop the cabbage into small, rice-sized pieces, or pulse it in a food processor a few times. Place the chopped cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and shred them using a grater. Add the shredded carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Finely dice the onion or pulse it in a food processor until very small. Add the onion to the bowl with the cabbage and carrots. Mix the vegetables together.
Prepare the dressing: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, granulated sugar, milk, buttermilk, lemon juice, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the chopped vegetables and stir until everything is well-coated and evenly combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the coleslaw to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, stir the coleslaw once more to ensure the dressing is evenly distributed. Serve cold as a side dish and enjoy!
