Ingredients

  • 1 head green cabbage ( 8-10 cups)
  • 1 large carrots, peeled and finely shredded ( hand-squeeze out any excess moisture completely)
  • 4 green onions
  • 2 teaspoons celery seeds ( optional, or to taste)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise ( Hellman’s is best, do not use salad dressing)
  • 1/4 cup milk ( light cream even better)
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • 2 -3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice ( use fresh only not bottled)
  • 1/3 cup white sugar plus 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning sat, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, or to taste.

Directions

1

In a food processor chop the cabbage into small pieces (should look like about the size of confetti) or shred the cabbage.

2

Transfer to a large bowl.

3

With a fine shredder, shred the peeled carrots, then hand-squeeze to remove as much moisture as possible; add to the bowl.

4

Chop the green onion finely; add to the cabbage/carrot mixture along with the celery seed.

5

Mix the three veggies all together with a wooden spoon.

6

For the dressing; in a bowl whisk together all the dressing ingredients starting with the lower amounts then adding in and adjusting to suit taste but using 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar.

7

Pour over the veggies in the bowl, and mix well to combine.

8

Store covered in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight (overnight is better) to blend flavors.
