Buttermilk Coleslaw

Name: Buttermilk Coleslaw
Ingredients: 1/2 cup mayo; 1 tbs dijon mustard; 2 tsp apple cider vinegar; 1 tsp sugar; 1/2 tsp kosher salt; 1 small head cabbage, shredded; 1 medium carrot, grated; 1/2 medium red onion, sliced thin; 1/2 tsp white pepper; 3/4 cup buttermilk

A picnic classic, coleslaw. When done well, it’s sublime, when done poorly it’s watery and gross.

The trick is get rid of some moisture up front by salting the cabbage and then squeezing some of the water away. It’s also helpful to combine at the very last second.

Serves a small crowd. Takes an hour and a half end to end, mostly waiting
