Instructions
Make the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk (or sour cream), sugar, white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, onion powder (or fresh grated onion), and celery seeds until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the sugar or seasoning to your preference.
Add the Slaw Mix: Pour in the bagged tricolor slaw mix (or your homemade blend of green cabbage, purple cabbage, and carrots). Toss everything together until the cabbage is well coated in the dressing.
Chill: Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour to let the flavors come together and the slaw soften slightly.
Serve: Toss before serving. Enjoy chilled with your favorite BBQ or weeknight meal!
