- Finely chop 2/3 cup of onion.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cabbage, cucumber, and finely chopped onion. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the vegetables.

- Toss the vegetables and dressing together until everything is evenly coated. Make sure the dressing is evenly distributed throughout the slaw.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the coleslaw to an airtight container.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the slaw to chill.
- Give the coleslaw one final stir before serving to ensure the dressing is well mixed.
- Serve the buttermilk coleslaw as a side dish with your favorite meals. It pairs especially well with grilled meats, sandwiches, and barbecue dishes.
Tips:
- For a fresher taste, use fresh garlic and onion instead of powdered.
- Let the slaw sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
