• ⅓ cup granulated sugar

• ¼ cup white vinegar

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
   Place the coleslaw mix, shredded carrots, and chopped onion into a large mixing bowl.

2. Make the Dressing:
   In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, milk, sugar, vinegar, salt, and black pepper until completely smooth.

3. Combine and Toss:
   Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mixture. Toss thoroughly to coat all the cabbage and vegetables evenly.

4. Chill for Best Flavor:
   Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight). This allows the flavors to fully develop and the texture to become perfectly tender and creamy.

5. Serve Cold:
   Stir before serving. This coleslaw pairs beautifully with fried chicken, BBQ ribs, burgers, and grilled meats.
