Finely shred the green cabbage using a sharp knife or a food processor. You should end up with about 8 cups of cabbage.
Peel and shred the carrots using a grater or food processor, and combine them with the cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Finely dice the onion (about 1/4 cup) and add it to the bowl with the cabbage and carrots.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, whole milk, granulated sugar, white vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well-combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and stir thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick stir to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a side dish with your favorite meal.
