Southern Coleslaw Recipe
Southern Coleslaw is a creamy salad made with shredded cabbage, carrot, and green onions mixed into a tangy dressing featuring mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, buttermilk, Dijon mustard, celery seed, and dill. The combination produces a crisp, fresh texture with a balance between sweet, sour, and savory notes typical of Southern-style coleslaw. It works well as a side dish for barbecue, picnic meals, or as a refreshing addition to sandwiches.
