This creamy buttermilk coleslaw is a refreshing side dish that balances tangy, sweet, and savory notes. The dressing combines buttermilk and mayonnaise for a smooth, velvety base, brightened with lemon juice and white vinegar. A touch of sugar rounds out the acidity, while salt and pepper add just the right seasoning.

Finely chopped cabbage and carrots bring crisp texture and natural sweetness, while grated onion adds a subtle bite that ties everything together. Tossed until every shred is coated, this coleslaw is cool, crunchy, and irresistibly creamy—perfect alongside grilled meats, sandwiches, or as a picnic favorite.
