Ingredients

• 1 medium green cabbage, about 4-inch head (see notes)
• 1 small red cabbage, about 2-3 inch head (see notes)
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and shredded
• 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped (see notes)
• Buttermilk dressing
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Wash the cabbage and remove the outer leaves. Place the cabbage on a cutting board with the core side down. Slice the cabbage in half from top to bottom (core), place each cabbage half cut-side down and cut half in half again, vertically from the top through the core.
2. Starting at the end opposite the core, cut crosswise into thin strips. if you'd like longer strands cut the cabbage vertically.
3. In a large bowl, toss together the shredded cabbage, carrot, and cilantro.
4. Toss the vegetables with the buttermilk dressing. Taste and adjust to your liking adding more salt and pepper to taste.
5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This coleslaw is best if served within a day.

Recipe Notes

I like to use a combination of green and red cabbage. Roughly 4 cups green cabbage + 2 cups red cabbage. As an alternative, you can buy bags of pre-shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix.

 

You can add parsley instead of cilantro if that fits your taste better.
