Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 2 cups (shredded) Purple cabbage
- 1 cup (shredded) Carrots
- 1 cup Buttermilk ranch dressing
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, chopped)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, purple cabbage, and carrots. Toss to mix evenly.
In a separate medium bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the buttermilk ranch dressing, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Use tongs or a spoon to toss everything together until the vegetables are fully coated in the dressing.
Taste the coleslaw and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, pepper, or a splash of vinegar.
If using chives, sprinkle them on top for garnish or mix them into the coleslaw for added flavor.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss and transfer it to a serving dish or bowl.
