Best Ever Coleslaw

Contributed byChristine Minx
Creamy coleslaw with shredded cabbage, carrots, and green onion in a white bowl.

Ingredients

  • 1 bag cabbage/carrot coleslaw mix
  • 2 tablespoon onion (very finely minced)
  • 1/3 cup sugar (or more if you like it sweeter)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (regular or lowfat)
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk (regular or lowfat)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 2 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
Yield: 8 Servings
Prep Time: 2 hours

Instructions

In large bowl, combine cabbage/carrot mix and onion. In separate smaller bowl, make dressing by combining sugar, salt, pepper, celery seed, milk, mayonnaise, buttermilk, vinegar and lemon juice, beating until smooth. Pour dressing over cabbage mixture and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, then stir before serving. If you like a drier coleslaw, before stirring, drain off some of the dressing that collects at the bottom of the bowl after refrigeration.
