Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 1 small Onion
- 0.5 cup Low-fat mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Low-fat buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage and cut it into quarters. Finely chop the cabbage using a knife or food processor. It should produce about 8 cups of chopped cabbage.
Peel the carrots and finely shred them using a grater or food processor.
Peel the onion and finely chop it into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped cabbage, shredded carrots, and chopped onions. Toss them together until mixed well.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, prepare the dressing by mixing together the low-fat mayonnaise, low-fat buttermilk, low-fat milk, white vinegar, lemon juice, granulated sugar, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk until the dressing is smooth and the sugar is dissolved.
Pour the dressing over the mixed vegetables. Gently toss with a spatula until the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a good stir and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or pepper to taste.
