- Take the cabbage, carrots, and sweet onion. Wash them well. Now, chop the cabbage finely, grate the carrots, and mince the onion. Mix them in a big bowl.
- Tangy Dressing:
- In another bowl, mix mayonnaise, sugar, milk, buttermilk, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well till it's smooth.
- Mix it Up:
