Tips:

  • To save time, use a food processor or a mandoline to slice the collard greens and cabbage.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • To make the dressing ahead of time, whisk all of the ingredients together in a jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • For a spicier slaw, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the dressing.
