My grandmother taught me how to make the dressing for this coleslaw when I was very young. It's not too tart and not too sweet. Sometimes I make 8 gallon jars a week at the restaurant where I work! It gets lots of compliments on my sweet coleslaw recipe. -Denise Elder, Hanover, Ontario

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help them absorb the dressing better and make the coleslaw more crisp and flavorful.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To make a creamier coleslaw, add 1/2 cup of sour cream or mayonnaise to the dressing.
  • If you like a sweeter coleslaw, add 1/4 cup of sugar or honey to the dressing.
  • For a more tangy coleslaw, add 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar or white vinegar to the dressing.
  • If you want a coleslaw with a bit of a kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the dressing.
  • Let the coleslaw chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the coleslaw to become more crisp.
