Creamy Homemade Coleslaw Recipe - (4.4/5)

Ingredients

• DRESSING:
• 1 head green cabbage (8 to 10-cups)
• 1 large carrot, peeled and finely shredded (hand-squeeze out any excess moisture completely)
• Note: For a shortcut, I sometimes buy pre-shredded cole slaw mix. It works just fine.
• 3 green onions (or to taste)
• 1 teaspoons celery seeds (optional, or to taste)
• 1 cup mayonnaise (Hellman's or Best Foods)
• 1/3 cup milk (light cream even better)
• 1/3 cup buttermilk
• 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 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon seasoning salt or white salt (or to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (or to taste)
• NOTE: *I reduce the sugar, by adding half and adding more if needed. We like ours a little less sweet
