CREAMY SPICED COLESLAW
A creamy coleslaw with lots of flavor. The seasonings complement each other and the cabbage. Sometimes I add fresh minced onion if I am in the mood to chop it up. My family and friends love this coleslaw especially with BBQ sandwiches and Italian dishes.

CREAMY COLESLAW DRESSING
Coleslaw is one of my all-time favorite foods if it has a nice, creamy dressing. After doing some research, making dozens of different dressings, and trying to find the flavor that I like, I came up with this dressing for coleslaw that became a hit. I'm always asked for this recipe. What surprised me was at a potluck when a culinary chef asked me for my recipe. He told me that it was one of the best he had ever tasted since he had left the southern part of the USA.

SWEET, CREAMY COLESLAW
I never liked coleslaw until I tried my husband's great aunt's. Now I can't get enough of it! Great with BBQ pork sandwiches. You can also use a bag of slaw mix instead of shredding the cabbage and carrots yourself.

Tips:
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots for a more even texture and better flavor absorption.
- If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Be sure to drain the cabbage and carrots well after rinsing them to prevent the coleslaw from becoming watery.
- For a creamier coleslaw, use full-fat mayonnaise and sour cream.
- If you prefer a tangier coleslaw, add a bit more vinegar or lemon juice to the dressing.
- Season the coleslaw to taste with salt and pepper before serving.
- For a healthier coleslaw, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
- To add a bit of crunch, add some chopped celery or almonds to the coleslaw.
- For a more colorful coleslaw, add some shredded carrots, red cabbage, or bell pepper.
- Serve coleslaw chilled for the best flavor.
