Mom’s Chopped Coleslaw

Total Time Prep/Total Time: 20 min.

Yield 6 servings

For Friday dinners, my mother made coleslaw to go with our fish. It’s still a family tradition, and the tangy dressing even works on a tossed salad. —Cynthia McDowell, Banning, California

Ingredients

1/2 medium head cabbage (about 1-1/4 pounds)
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup finely chopped sweet red or green pepper
1/3 cup finely chopped sweet onion
DRESSING:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup 2% milk
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Dash pepper

Directions

Cut cabbage into 1-1/2- to 2-in. pieces. Place half of the cabbage in a food processor; pulse until chopped. Transfer to a large bowl; repeat with remaining cabbage.
Add remaining vegetables to cabbage. In a small bowl, whisk dressing ingredients until blended. Pour over coleslaw and toss to coat. Refrigerate until serving.
