Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp vegetables. Shred them yourself instead of buying pre-shredded.
Use a sharp knife or mandoline to shred the vegetables so that they are thin and even.
To save time, you can use a food processor to shred the vegetables.
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 together all of the ingredients in a jar or container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a lighter slaw, use less mayonnaise and more buttermilk or yogurt.
To add a bit of crunch, add some chopped nuts or seeds to the slaw.
For a spicy slaw, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the dressing.
