Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Start by washing the cabbage and carrot thoroughly. Finely chop the cabbage into very small pieces. The pieces should be about the size of rice grains for the best texture.
  • Shred the carrot using a grater and finely mince the white onion.
  • Place the cabbage, carrot, and onion in a large mixing bowl.
  • In another bowl, add the following ingredients:
  • Granulated sugar
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Ground black pepper
  • Kosher salt
  • Whole milk
  • Mayonnaise
  • Buttermilk
  • Lemon juice
  • Whisk all the ingredients together until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  • Pour the dressing over the chopped vegetables in the bowl.
  • Mix everything well so the cabbage, carrots, and onions are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1–2 hours. This allows the flavors to blend together and improves the taste.
  • Serve chilled.

Notes

Finely chopped vegetables give the best restaurant-style texture.
Chilling the coleslaw helps the dressing soak into the cabbage.
If the coleslaw looks dry after refrigeration, you can add a tablespoon of milk and mix again.
Fresh cabbage always gives the best flavor.
