What Are the Ingredients in Buttermilk Coleslaw?

Credit:Will Dickey
The recipe calls for whole buttermilk, which provides a slightly sour and tangy flavor.
Buttermilk can be found in the chilled section of the grocery store, beside the other milk products.
Coleslaw will get watery after a few days as the cabbage releases water.

Buttermilk coleslaw should not be frozen.
Cabbage loses water whenever salted; this recipe, like most, calls for salt in the sauce.
Try salting your coleslaw mix before adding the dressing to prevent the coleslaw from getting soggy.

Place the coleslaw mix in a colander over a bowl and sprinkle a tablespoon of salt over the top.
Leave the coleslaw mix for an hour and rinse well.
