Directions
- Prepare the Dressing
In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sugar, milk, buttermilk, lemon juice, and white vinegar until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust with a pinch of salt or pepper if desired. - Prep the Vegetables
Finely shred the cabbage and carrot. For best results, use a food processor or a sharp knife for even, thin strands. - Combine
Add the shredded cabbage and carrot to the dressing. Toss thoroughly until all the vegetables are coated evenly. - Chill
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly, giving the coleslaw its signature taste and texture. - Serve
Give the coleslaw a final toss before serving. Pair it with fried chicken, sandwiches, or as a crisp side to any hearty meal.
