Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 bag coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage, approximately 14 oz)
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • ¼ cup finely chopped onion

Dressing

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup buttermilk
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Vegetables: Place the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, and finely chopped onion into a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
  2. Prepare Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, milk, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and white vinegar until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Mix Dressing and Vegetables: Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to coat all the vegetables evenly with the dressing.
  4. Season and Chill: Add salt and pepper to taste, then cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for several hours (at least 2-3 hours) to allow flavors to meld and the salad to chill before serving.

Notes

  • For best flavor, prepare the coleslaw at least 3 hours before serving.
  • Adjust sugar and lemon juice to your taste for preferred sweetness and acidity.
  • If you prefer a creamier texture, increase the mayonnaise slightly.
  • Optional: Add a pinch of celery seed for a traditional coleslaw twist.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days.
