This is a coleslaw recipe that I got from a chili restaurant in my neighborhood that closed down a few years ago. This recipe makes more dressing than needed for the coleslaw, so you can save it or use it as a vegetable dip.

- 🥶 Fridge time: 1 hr
- 🍽️ Servings: 8 - 10

## Ingredients

- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 4 tbsp distilled vinegar
- 1/3 cup olive oil

- 1 tsp celery seeds
- 1/2 tsp onion powder

## Directions

1. Finely shred, rinse, and drain the carrot
