Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Finely chop the cabbage, carrots, and onion using a sharp knife or food processor.

Dress the Salad

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, whole milk, sugar, white vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the chopped cabbage, carrots, and onions to the bowl with the dressing. Stir gently to coat all the vegetables.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for the mayonnaise and use almond milk instead of whole milk. For spiciness, consider adding a dash of cayenne pepper.
