Bright, colorful and crisp, this apple coleslaw with buttermilk dressing is the light side of fall food. A perfect side for sandwiches and bbq on game day.
Toss the cabbage with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon sugar in a colander and set over a bowl. Let stand for 30 minutes. After sitting for 30 minutes, discard any liquid that collects in the bowl.
Combine the garlic and apple cider vinegar in a large measuring cup. Let stand for 5 minutes. Whisk in the buttermilk, mayonnaise, mustard, remaining ¼ teaspoon sugar and Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
Gently pat any excess moisture from the cabbage with a paper towel. Place cabbage, apples, carrots and green onions in a large bowl. Pour dressing over slaw and gently toss.
