Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Carrots
- 1 small Red onion
- 3 cups Green cabbage
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Dill (fresh)
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (fresh)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Peel the carrots and julienne them into thin matchstick-sized pieces. Alternatively, you can shred them using a box grater or a food processor.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into very fine strips. For a milder flavor, soak the slices in cold water for 5 minutes, then drain well.
Thinly slice the green cabbage or shred it using a mandoline slicer to create 3 cups of cabbage.
In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, fresh dill, parsley, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and well-blended to create the ranch dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrots, red onion, and shredded cabbage.
Pour the ranch dressing over the vegetables and toss thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a side dish or as a topping for burgers, tacos, or sandwiches.
