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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the shredded cabbage.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick stir, then taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Step 7
Serve cold as a side dish alongside grilled meats, sandwiches, or your favorite barbecue fare. Enjoy!
