- DRESSING:
- 1 head green cabbage (8 to 10-cups)
- 1 large carrot, peeled and finely shredded (hand-squeeze out any excess moisture completely)
- Note: For a shortcut, I sometimes buy pre-shredded cole slaw mix. It works just fine.

- 1 teaspoons celery seeds (optional, or to taste)
- 1 cup mayonnaise (Hellman's or Best Foods)
- 1/3 cup milk (light cream even better)
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (use fresh only, not bottled)
- 1/3 cup white sugar, plus
- 2 tablespoons white sugar*
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt or white salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (or to taste)
- NOTE: *I reduce the sugar, by adding half and adding more if needed. We like ours a little less sweet
