SIMPLE SOUTHWEST RANCH COLESLAW

I invented this recipe when I bought a bottle of ranch dressing by accident. =] My dressing was "peppercorn ranch" so I didn't use any pepper, and the dressing has plenty of salt for my taste, but season as you'd like. Cooking time is refrigeration time.

Tips:

For a creamier coleslaw, use a combination of mayonnaise and sour cream. You can also add a dollop of Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
To save time, you can use a pre-shredded coleslaw mix. Just be sure to rinse it well before using.
To add a bit of extra crunch, add some chopped nuts or seeds to the coleslaw. Walnuts, pecans, and sunflower seeds are all good options.
For a more flavorful coleslaw, marinate the cabbage and carrots in the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving.
