"I make this for weddings, large socials and in the summer BBQ parties, and there is never anything left it all goes and everyone wants the recipe! **** For one 16-ounce package coleslaw mix, use the following amounts; 1/2 cup mayonnaise/ 2-1/2 tablespoons milk/ 2-1/2 tablespoons buttermilk/ 1-1/2 tablespoons vinegar/ 1-1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice/ 3-1/2 tablespoons sugar/ 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder/ 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt, or to taste"
In a food processor chop the cabbage into small pieces (should look like about the size of confetti) or shred the cabbage.
Transfer to a large bowl.
With a fine shredder, shred the peeled carrots, then hand-squeeze to remove as much moisture as possible; add to the bowl.
Chop the green onion finely; add to the cabbage/carrot mixture along with the celery seed.
Mix the three veggies all together with a wooden spoon.
For the dressing; in a bowl whisk together all the dressing ingredients starting with the lower amounts then adding in and adjusting to suit taste but using 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar.
Pour over the veggies in the bowl, and mix well to combine.
Store covered in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight (overnight is better) to blend flavors.
