Creamy Buttermilk Coleslaw
Description
This coleslaw features finely shredded cabbage and carrots combined to create a crunchy base. The dressing is a blend of buttermilk and mayonnaise balanced with cider vinegar for acidity, sugar for subtle sweetness, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper for seasoning. Optional sour cream adds richness, while prepared horseradish introduces a slight spicy note. Mixing the slaw just enough to coat the vegetables ensures the crunchy texture.
The salad is typically refrigerated after preparation to meld the flavors and chill the dish, improving texture and taste. It is recommended to serve the coleslaw the same day it is prepared to maintain its crispness. This preparation suits summer meals, barbecues, or as a fresh side dish complementing various proteins.
Ingredients
- green cabbage small head, shredded
- 3 carrot peeled and shredded
dressing
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp cider vinegar
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- black pepper fresh cracked, to taste
- 1 Tbsp sour cream optional
- 1-2 tsp horseradish prepared
Instructions
- To shred the cabbage: remove loose outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice in half, vertically, through the root.
- Remove the core from each half. Set the halves, cut side down, and slice in half again, vertically. Slice as thinly as you can with a large sharp knife.
- I like to shred my carrots in a food processor fitted with the shredding disk because it makes thicker, dryer shreds.
- Put the shredded cabbage and shredded carrots in a large bowl and toss to combine.
- Whisk the dressing together and taste to adjust any of the elements.
- Toss the slaw with enough dressing to moisten thoroughly, but not drench (save the rest for freshening up the slaw later, if necessary.)
- Chill the slaw until ready to serve. For best texture, serve the same day it is made.
