Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups finely shredded green cabbage
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded carrot
  • 1 tbsp finely grated yellow onion
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp celery seed (optional)

Method
 

  1. Shred the cabbage and carrot using the fine disc of a food processor or a box grater. Transfer to a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sugar, buttermilk, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and celery seed until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the grated onion.
  3. Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
  4. Give the coleslaw a final stir, then scoop into a serving bowl. Top with a pinch of celery seed if you like.

Notes

Chill time is essential for the flavors to meld. The coleslaw tastes even better after 8 hours. The texture is best within the first 2 days.
