Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Green cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 2.5 tablespoons White vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Finely chop the green cabbage and carrots into small, uniform pieces, or alternatively, use a food processor to pulse them into a fine texture similar to KFC coleslaw.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, whole milk, white vinegar, lemon juice, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
Add the finely chopped cabbage and carrots to the bowl with the dressing. Mix thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick stir to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a side dish to complement any meal.
