This coleslaw is a creamy, classic side dish made with shredded cabbage and carrots tossed in a tangy-sweet dressing. A blend of mayo, buttermilk, vinegar, and a touch of sugar creates a balanced flavor that’s both crisp and refreshing. It’s the perfect make-ahead companion for barbecue meals, sandwiches, or potluck spreads.
