Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons vinegar white or apple cider work
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 head of cabbage chopped
  • 1 carrot shredded
  • 1/4 cup minced onion

Method
 

  1. Combine the mayonnaise, sugar, milk, buttermilk, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk until smooth.
  2. Add the cabbage, carrots, and onion and stir to combine.
  3. You can serve it right away but I highly recommend covering and refrigerating for at least two hours before serving. The rest time gives the ingredients time to marinate and increases the flavor.

Notes

You can substitute the cabbage and carrots for two 16 oz bags tricolor coleslaw mix if desired.
