Best Country Coleslaw

Coleslaw is one of our families favorites.First we have to get the ingredients together.


8 cups finely chopped cabbage (about 1 head)
1/4 cup shredded carrot (1 medium carrot)
2 tablespoons minced onion
After you chop the cabbage and the carrot and the onion you start water on to boil once the water boils you take the raw ingredients and blanch the cabbage mix for Sixty seconds.. then take out and drain. I have done the blanching for as long as ninety seconds.

Now take the rest of the ingredients and mix in a separate bowl. Mix with the cabbage and cover refrigerate for two hours. This recipe makes in my opinion one of the finest country coleslaw's around.
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup milk
1/4 tsp of Mrs. Dashes table seasoning
1  cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
