Ingredients

• 3 medium Carrots
• 1 small Red onion
• 3 cups Green cabbage
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons Dill (fresh)
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (fresh)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Peel the carrots and julienne them into thin matchstick-sized pieces. Alternatively, you can shred them using a box grater or a food processor.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the red onion into very fine strips. For a milder flavor, soak the slices in cold water for 5 minutes, then drain well.

Step 3

Thinly slice the green cabbage or shred it using a mandoline slicer to create 3 cups of cabbage.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, fresh dill, parsley, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and well-blended to create the ranch dressing.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrots, red onion, and shredded cabbage.

Step 6

Pour the ranch dressing over the vegetables and toss thoroughly to coat everything evenly.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Serve chilled as a side dish or as a topping for burgers, tacos, or sandwiches.
