Ingredients

Scale
  • 120 ml mayonnaise
  • 65 g granulated sugar
  • 60 ml whole milk
  • 60 ml buttermilk
  • 38 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 22 ml distilled white vinegar
  • 3 g fine sea salt
  • 0.5 g ground black pepper
  • 800 g finely chopped green cabbage
  • 30 g shredded carrot
  • 20 g minced white onion

Instructions

  1. Start by finely chopping the cabbage and carrots to a uniform, rice-sized consistency for an authentic texture.
  2. Mince the white onion and set it aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, milk, buttermilk, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well emulsified.
  4. Add the chopped cabbage, shredded carrot, and minced onion to the bowl with the dressing.
  5. Mix everything thoroughly until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
  6. Cover the mixture and refrigerate it for a minimum of 2 hours. For the best flavor and texture, it’s recommended to let it rest overnight.

Notes

For best texture, chop vegetables very finely and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
