Tangy Southern Coleslaw

Tangy Southern Coleslaw

One of the things I love most in the world is coleslaw – or, I should say, GOOD coleslaw. There’s a lot of bad coleslaw out there which can be frustrating for me because I am coleslaw picky. Make that PICKY.

When you find (or make) great coleslaw, it’s just such a beautiful thing. And given that there’s so much bad coleslaw out there, it feels a little bit magical.

I also love that coleslaw goes with so many things.. and those few things it doesn’t conceivably go with? I make it go.

The only drawback to loving a particular food so much is (as I said), it can make you hyper picky when you order it in restaurants (or, worse yet, when a family member makes some and it tastes like a movie prop). Let’s be honest, really truly wonderful coleslaw is a work of art and not many people pass for artists.

This particular easy, but delicious, southern coleslaw is spot on – a work of art that’ll make you a Picasso.

My personal favorite coleslaw is usually vinegar-based, but I wanted to add some creamy tanginess to the mix (literally), so  I opted to sort of combine a creamy coleslaw and a vinegar coleslaw. That’s where the buttermilk comes into play. It may sound unusual, but it really does make things interesting.

And delicious!

Tangy Southern Coleslaw

Ingredients

  • 1 (14 oz) Bags of Coleslaw Mix (with cabbage and carrots)
  • 1/3 Cup White Sugar + 2 TBS More!
  • 1/4 Cup Buttermilk
  • 1/2 Cup Duke's Mayonnaise (sub with Hellman's if necessary)
  • 1/4 Cup Whole Milk
  • 1-1/2 TBS Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Yellow Mustard
  • 1-1/2 TBS Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. Pour the coleslaw mixes into a large bowl - preferably the one you'll be serving the coleslaw in.
  2. In a large glass measuring cup (or small bowl), combine the rest of the ingredients and stir well to combine.
  3. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
  4. Before serving, give the coleslaw a good stir and taste. If you need to add more salt and/or pepper, do so.

Notes:

  • I specify Duke’s Mayonnaise simply because it’s the one I always buy and use in my recipes. I simply think it’s the best. However, using Hellman’s will not alter the recipe. In fact, it’s pretty much the same… don’t tell my beloved Duke’s that though.
  • This is outrageously delicious on or beside a chili dog or pork sandwich.
  • One of the things that makes “Southern Coleslaw” in fact “Southern Coleslaw” is the sweetness. Our capacity to eat sweet food is unequaled. If you want to add a little less sugar, feel free to cut back a tad. However, a certain amount is very, very necessary to balance the acidity of the vinegar.
