Ingredients
- 8 cups Green cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 2.5 tablespoons White vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Finely chop the green cabbage and carrots into small, uniform pieces, or alternatively, use a food processor to pulse them into a fine texture similar to KFC coleslaw.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, whole milk, white vinegar, lemon juice, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Add the finely chopped cabbage and carrots to the bowl with the dressing. Mix thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
Step 5
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick stir to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a side dish to complement any meal.
