Ingredients
- small head green cabbage, shredded
- 3 carrots, peeled and shredded
dressing
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp cider vinegar
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- Fresh cracked pepper to taste
- 1 Tbsp sour cream, optional
- 1-2 tsp prepared horseradish
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.
