Sweet Coleslaw

This is one thing that BOTH my children love and will always eat.  We love our coleslaw to be sweet.  This recipe is gooooooood!

DRESSING:
1/2 c. mayonnaise (nothing but Blue Plate for me)
1/3 c. granualted sugar
1/4 c. milk
1/4 c. buttermilk
2 1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 1/2 Tbsp. white vinegar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

SLAW:
1 head cabbage
1 medium carrot (optional)
2 Tbsp. minced onion (I, personally, always double the amount of onion in any recipe)

*Chop cabbage into tiny little chunks and chop fine.  (You may run it through a food processor if you have one--that's the one kitchen gadget I do not own.)

*Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a large bowl, whisk well.

*Combine cabbage, carrots and onion.  Toss well.  Pour dressing over the slaw and turn to coat well.

*Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving to allow the cabbage to soak up the marinade.  (This is very important)
