  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, milk, sugar, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth and well blended.

  3. Dressing: Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor and texture. Stir well before serving.
