Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 16 ounces coleslaw mix
  • 2 tablespoons minced onion

Equipment

  • Wooden Spoon
  • Whisk
  • Blender
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Chef's Knife

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, add milk and white vinegar. Set aside to thicken at least 10 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, granulated sugar, salt, freshly ground black pepper, and thickened milk (buttermilk).
  3. Add coleslaw mix and minced onion, then stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours to blend flavors. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Notes

Coleslaw mix: Finely chop the bagged coleslaw mix so it’s tiny. Or, substitute a pound of green cabbage and shred it yourself. Add 1 medium carrot, grated.
Yield: This recipe makes about 4 cups of coleslaw, enough for 8 servings, ½ cup each.
Storage: From a food safety perspective, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. However, the quality will decline over time so I don’t recommend keeping it that long.
Sitting out at room temperature: Bacteria has a much better chance of growing in warm temperatures, so throw out any mayo-based coleslaw if left out for more than 2 hours at room temperature.
