Calories: 83kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 head red cabbage shredded
- 1/2 head green cabbage shredded
- 2 carrots shredded
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 1/2 Tbsp vinegar
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Using the slicing blade of a food processor, slice the cabbages. (A chef's knife can be used to finely chop the cabbage if a food processor is not available.)
- Switch to the shredding blade of the food processor and shred the carrots. (A vegetable peeler can be used to shred the carrots is a food processor is not available.)
- Combine cabbage and carrots in a large bowl. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add remaining ingredients (mayonnaise, sugar, milk, buttermilk, lemon juice, vinegar, and salt). Mix until well combined.
- Add the mayonnaise mixture to the cabbage and carrots and stir until well coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
This recipe makes a lot of coleslaw and can easily be cut in half if desired. The coleslaw can also be easily stored in air-tight containers in the refrigerator for a week or more.
If you don't regularly keep buttermilk around, then consider picking up a container of Powdered Buttermilk (in the baking aisle). It's still stored in the refrigerator, but it has a very long shelf life.
