Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups (finely chopped, about 1 head) Cabbage
- 1 cup (shredded) Carrot
- 2 tablespoons (finely minced) Onion
- 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Pepper
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Buttermilk
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1.5 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2.5 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped cabbage, shredded carrot, and minced onion. Mix well to evenly distribute the vegetables.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the granulated sugar, salt, pepper, whole milk, buttermilk, mayonnaise, white vinegar, and fresh lemon juice until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and stir thoroughly to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the coleslaw to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick stir to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a side dish.
