Notes
- *You can substitute the onion powder with two tablespoons of grated or finely chopped fresh onion.
- You can also substitute the apple cider vinegar with other types of vinegar like white or rice vinegar.
- Substitute the buttermilk by mixing ½ teaspoon of fresh lemon juice or vinegar with the ¼ cup of milk.
- Let the coleslaw sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours so it can soak up all the flavor of the dressing; this will also eliminate any strong cabbage flavor.
- You can safely store this coleslaw inside an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
