- Finely chop 2/3 cup of onion.
2. Combine Vegetables:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cabbage, cucumber, and finely chopped onion. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the vegetables.
3. Prepare the Dressing:
- In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix 1/3 cup of dried milk powder with 3 tablespoons of vinegar. Stir well to combine until the mixture is smooth.

5. Chill and Serve:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the coleslaw to an airtight container.

- Give the coleslaw one final stir before serving to ensure the dressing is well mixed.
6. Enjoy:
