Culinary historian and cookbook author Jessica B. Harris shares this classic coleslaw recipe, made with green and red cabbage, cider vinegar and a splash of tangy buttermilk. A bit of sugar balances the vinegar's acid, but adjust the sweetness to your preference. Serve it with fried fish, sandwiches, burgers or any other picnic or BBQ fare.

Ingredients

Directions

  • Combine green cabbage and red cabbage in a medium glass salad bowl, fluffing it with a fork so the strips are separated. Mix mayonnaise, vinegar, buttermilk, sugar, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Pour the dressing over the cabbage; toss to coat well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour so the flavors mingle, and for up to 2 days. Taste and adjust the seasonings, if desired, before serving chilled.

Tips

To make ahead: Shred cabbage and prepare dressing up to 2 days ahead and refrigerate separately. Cover and refrigerate coleslaw for up to 2 days; drain any excess liquid, if necessary, before serving.
