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.
