Southern Coleslaw Recipe
This Southern Coleslaw Recipe has a creamy dressing, just the right touch of sweetness, and made with just a few simple ingredients that’s always a hit. The finely chopped cabbage gives it that classic look and bite, and some folks say it reminds them of a KFC coleslaw recipe!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 small head green cabbage
- 1 medium carrot
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the core. Finely shred the cabbage.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and carrot.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all the vegetables evenly.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend and the cabbage to soften slightly.
- Before serving, stir the coleslaw again to redistribute the dressing.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed with additional salt, pepper, or sugar.
- Serve chilled as a side dish.
Notes
Pro Tip: Use a food processor to shred the cabbage and carrot quickly and evenly. It saves time and gives the coleslaw that fine, uniform texture that works perfectly with the creamy dressing.
