Nana's Southern Coleslaw

By sandiB2010

"Just an old family recipe that I have been told is reminiscent of KFC coleslaw. You be the judge! To speed things up I sometimes just buy an already shredded bag of cabbage with carrots in it and then just chop it a little finer."

Ingredients

• 1 head cabbage, finely shredded
• 2 carrots, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Mix cabbage, carrots, and onion in a large salad bowl. Whisk mayonnaise, sugar, milk, buttermilk, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl until smooth and the sugar has dissolved.

Pour dressing over cabbage mixture and mix thoroughly. Cover bowl and refrigerate slaw at least 2 hours (the longer the better). Mix again before serving.
