Ingredients

8 cups green cabbage, finely chopped

1 cup carrots, grated

1/4 cup onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup buttermilk

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon celery seed (optional)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped green cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped onion.

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, black pepper, and celery seed (if using) until well blended.

      Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.

        Cover the coleslaw with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.

          Before serving, give the coleslaw a good stir to redistribute the dressing. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve chilled.
