Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups finely shredded green cabbage or coleslaw mix
  • 1/3 cup shredded carrots
  • 2/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Pinch of celery seed optional

Method
 

  1. Toss the shredded cabbage with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a colander; let it drain for 20 minutes. This draws out excess moisture for extra crunch. Rinse briefly and pat dry.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, milk, vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, pepper, and celery seed until smooth.
  3. Combine cabbage and carrots in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the veggies and toss gently until evenly coated.
  4. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight) to let flavors meld. Stir again before serving.
