Ingredients
- 8 cups Green cabbage
- 1 medium-sized Carrot
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium mayonnaise
- 0.333 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Low-fat buttermilk
- 2.5 tablespoons White vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by finely chopping the green cabbage and putting it into a large mixing bowl. The cabbage should be thinly sliced to achieve the traditional coleslaw texture.
Step 2
Peel and grate the carrot into the bowl with the cabbage. Ensure the carrot is finely grated to mix well with the cabbage.
Step 3
In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the low-sodium mayonnaise, granulated sugar, milk, low-fat buttermilk, white vinegar, and fresh lemon juice. Whisk these ingredients together until smooth to create the dressing.
Step 4
Add the freshly ground black pepper to the dressing and stir well.
Step 5
Pour the creamy dressing over the chopped cabbage and grated carrot. Use a spatula or large spoon to mix all the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring that every piece of cabbage and carrot is coated with the dressing.
Step 6
Cover the coleslaw with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Before serving, give the coleslaw a final stir to redistribute the dressing. Enjoy your low sodium coleslaw as a side dish with your favorite meal!
