Buttermilk Green Goddess Slaw

Buttermilk Green Goddess Slaw

This herby coleslaw variation was adapted from “The Animal Farm Buttermilk Cookbook” (Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2013) by Diane St. Clair. In it, a tangy buttermilk- and avocado-spiked green goddess dressing takes the place of the usual mayonnaise mix, for a slaw that’s both lighter and fresher tasting. Like most coleslaws, it gets better as it sits so, if you have time, plan to make it a few hours ahead. Save any extra dressing to use as a dip for cut vegetables or for other salads. It will keep for up to two days in the fridge.

Directions

Make the dressing: Put avocado, buttermilk, lemon juice, anchovy, scallions, garlic, parsley, chives, tarragon, olive oil and basil in a food processor or blender, and process until smooth and uniformly green, 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Make the slaw: In a large bowl, combine cabbage, scallions, jalapeño and cilantro. Pour 1 cup of green goddess dressing over slaw and toss well to coat. Season with salt and pepper.

Garnish with more cilantro before serving. Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a couple of hours. Toss again before serving, adding more dressing if you like. Leftover dressing will keep for another day or two in the fridge.
