Ingredients

8 cups finely diced cabbage

¼ cup shredded carrot

1 tablespoon finely grated onion

⅓ cup granulated sugar

½ cup mayonnaise

¼ cup whole milk

¼ cup well-shaken buttermilk

1½ tablespoons white vinegar

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine grated onion and sugar.

Whisk in mayonnaise, whole milk, and buttermilk to form the base of the dressing.

Add white vinegar and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until smooth.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Add diced cabbage and toss to coat evenly in the dressing.

Gently fold in the shredded carrot.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow flavors to meld.

Toss again before serving cold.

Notes

For best results, chill overnight to intensify flavor.

Use a food processor to finely dice cabbage quickly.

Great as a topping for pulled pork sandwiches or fish tacos.

Keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
