BUTTERMILK GREEN GODDESS SLAW
This herby coleslaw variation was adapted from "The Animal Farm Buttermilk Cookbook" (Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2013) by Diane St. Clair. In it, a tangy buttermilk- and avocado-spiked green goddess dressing takes the place of the usual mayonnaise mix, for a slaw that's both lighter and fresher tasting. Like most coleslaws, it gets better as it sits so, if you have time, plan to make it a few hours ahead. Save any extra dressing to use as a dip for cut vegetables or for other salads. It will keep for up to two days in the fridge.

Steps:
- Make the dressing: Put avocado, buttermilk, lemon juice, anchovy, scallions, garlic, parsley, chives, tarragon, olive oil and basil in a food processor or blender, and process until smooth and uniformly green, 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- Make the slaw: In a large bowl, combine cabbage, scallions, jalapeño and cilantro. Pour 1 cup of green goddess dressing over slaw and toss well to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Garnish with more cilantro before serving. Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a couple of hours. Toss again before serving, adding more dressing if you like. Leftover dressing will keep for another day or two in the fridge.

Steps:
- Slice cabbages into thin shreds, place in large both. (Don't worry if it looks to full, this will shrink in volume once dressing is added.).
- Grate carrots and add to bowl with cabbage.
- *Feel free to use a food processor for the above directions to save some time, make sure to use the slicing & grating disks.
- In a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, salt & pepper until smooth.
- Pour over cabbage & carrot mixture. Stir slowly until coated. Let stand 5 minutes or until it looses a bit of volume.
- Note: This dressing also works great for a bag of coleslaw mix, it is dryer than fresh cabbage so it soaks up more dressing.
- If not serving right away, refrigerate for up to 2 days for fresh or 1 day for bagged.

Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage: For a classic coleslaw, use a firm head of green cabbage. For a more delicate flavor, try red cabbage or a mix of both.
- Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the dressing to coat the cabbage evenly.
- Add other vegetables: Shredded carrots, radishes, onions, or bell peppers are all great additions to coleslaw.
- Use a good mayonnaise-based dressing: Coleslaw dressing is typically made with mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and salt. You can also add other ingredients like mustard, celery seeds, or caraway seeds.
- Chill the coleslaw before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the cabbage to crisp up.
