Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head (about 2 lbs) Green cabbage
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Celery seeds
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage in half, remove the core, and finely shred the cabbage using a knife, mandoline, or food processor. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the shredded cabbage.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, black pepper, and celery seeds until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the shredded cabbage and carrots. Toss everything together using tongs or a large spoon until the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, chill for 2-3 hours.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick stir, then taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve cold as a side dish alongside grilled meats, sandwiches, or your favorite barbecue fare. Enjoy!
