Ingredients

  • 1 pound shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 2 tablespoons minced onion
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (yes, splenda may be used)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup mayonaise
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk or 2 tablespoons buttermilk powder
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

How To Make bonnie's coleslaw

  • Step 1
    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and the onion.
  • Step 2
    In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients. If you're using the buttermilk powder, which I always do, there is no need to reconstitute it (that just waters down the dressing) Just add it dry. The dressing with the buttermilk powder looks thick at first but will thin when you add vinegar and lemon juice.
  • Step 3
    Stir dressing into the cabbage and onion mixture. Chill several hours to blend the flavors. Enjoy!
