Directions
- In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, milk, sugar, lemon juice, and white vinegar until smooth.
- Add the finely chopped cabbage, shredded carrot, and minced onion to the dressing.
- Sprinkle in the salt and pepper, and stir well to coat all the vegetables evenly with the dressing.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 8 hours, to allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
- Stir again before serving, and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve chilled.
