I haven't made much slaw in my day but my husband & I really enjoy this version. A small amount of drained crushed pineapple or pineapple tidbits in place of the scallions would probably work well in this dish.

Ingredients

  • SLAW
  • 1 medium green cabbage, thinly shredded or finely chopped (12 cups)
  • 2 large carrots, shredded or chopped
  • DRESSING
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk

How To Make buttermilk coleslaw

  • Step 1
    Toss cabbage & carrots together with 1 teaspoon salt and let drain in colander until wilted, about 1 hour. Rinse cabbage & carrots with cold water, then dry thoroughly with paper towels and transfer to large bowl.
  • Step 2
    Mix all dressing ingredients until well blended. Toss dressing with cabbage. Season with salt and pepper to taste and refrigerate until chilled.
  • Step 3
    Shortcup version: Mix dressing with 1 large bag Slaw mix from grocery store. This will cut down prep time to a minimum. But for freshness you can't beat home made.
