For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the dressing. If you prefer a less sweet coleslaw, reduce the amount of honey. Freshly squeezed lemon juice will provide a brighter flavor than bottled. Taste and adjust the seasoning before refrigerating. The flavors will intensify as it sits. For a vegan option, use vegan mayonnaise and sour cream substitutes.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large mixing bowl, gently combine the thinly sliced cabbage and shredded carrots until evenly distributed. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepIn a separate medium bowl, whisk together the creamy salad dressing, mayonnaise, buttermilk, sour cream, honey, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, salt, basil pesto, Dijon mustard, cayenne pepper, celery seed, onion powder, black pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated for a consistent flavor profile. (Prep time: 7 minutes)
03
StepPour approximately half of the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture, tossing gently to coat. Gradually add the remaining dressing, mixing until the coleslaw reaches your desired consistency. Be careful not to overdress; the coleslaw should be moist but not swimming in dressing. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
04
StepCover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in a more harmonious and delicious coleslaw. (Refrigeration: 3+ hours)
