Ingredients

• 6 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
• 2 cups (shredded) Purple cabbage
• 1 cup (shredded) Carrots
• 0.5 cup Buttermilk
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon (chopped if fresh) Dill (dried or fresh)
• 2 tablespoons Chives (fresh, chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, purple cabbage, and carrots. Toss together to evenly distribute the vegetables.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, chives, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined to create the ranch dressing.

Step 3

Pour the ranch dressing over the cabbage mixture. Using a pair of tongs or salad servers, toss everything together until all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For best flavor, let it sit for 2 hours.

Step 5

Before serving, give the slaw a quick stir to redistribute the dressing. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 6

Serve chilled as a side dish alongside grilled meats, fried chicken, or your favorite BBQ delights.
