This is the best slaw recipe. It was printed in a local newspaper years ago. The recipe keeps well tightly covered up to 5 days. I like to make it the day before I plan to serve it.

Ingredients

6 cups of thinly sliced cabbage
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup shredded carrot
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup milk
1 cup mayonnaise (I use reduced fat)
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
2 -3 drops hot pepper sauce
3 tablespoons instant minced onion

Steps:

Combine cabbage, sugar, carrots, salt, pepper and milk. Cover and refrigerate about 15-20 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, buttermilk, celery seed, hot pepper sauce and dry onions.
Combine cabbage mixture and dressing mixture.
Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
Drain some of the dressing and serve it separately for those who want a jucier slaw. The sugar and milk will draw out much of the natural juice in the cabbage while it chills.
