Coleslaw

For a long timeI never made coleslaw, I had no clue on the balance of flavors and what made it good. The times I did try to make it were never quite successful.The someone asked me to make it for an event when I offered to help so I figured I had better get a good recipe! Someone gave me a recipe for a version of KFC coleslaw and it was delicious! As time went on I found that we liked it better with mostly lemon juice instead of equal parts lemon juice and vinegar. I also added onion to round out the flavor. Now when I coleslaw for an event it there is rarely anything left over!

1 head cabbage, finely chopped  ( I chop it in the food processor.)

1 carrot, shredded

1/3 cup granulated sugar

½ cup mayonnaise

½ tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. pepper

½ tsp. granulated onion

½ cup buttermilk (or ½ c milk+ 2 tbsp. powdered buttermilk.)

3 tbsp. lemon juice

1 tsp. cider vinegar

Mix all ingredients well. Chill for several hours before serving.
