Description

Buttermilk coleslaw made with classic Cajun ingredients.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Salad

  • 4 cups thinly sliced purple and green cabbage or a 10-ounce bag of coleslaw
  • 4 heaping tablespoons of green onion, chopped
  • 1/3 cup pecans, roughly chopped

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Creole mustard
  • 1 tablespoon cane syrup
  • 3/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

Instructions

  1. Place cabbage, green onions, and pecans in a medium-sized bowl.
  2. Mix the dressing ingredients together in a smaller bowl; you'll have more dressing than you need.
  3. Add a little dressing at a time to the slaw mixture, tossing until the cabbage is evenly coated and there is as much dressing as you like.
  4. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Adjust the seasoning in the dressing to taste.
  • This makes more dressing than you need. Add a little dressing at a time to the slaw mixture, tossing until the cabbage is evenly coated and as much dressing as you like.
  • It's best to serve the salad after the dressing is mixed with the cabbage, so the salad stays crispy. I do not let the mixed coleslaw sit in the refrigerator overnight or too long after I mix the dressing and cabbage together, or it will wilt and lose its crispiness.
