This American coleslaw is perfect for your homemade burger. In the United States, coleslaw often contains buttermilk, mayonnaise, and carrot, although many regional variations exist, and recipes incorporating prepared mustard or vinegar without the dairy and mayonnaise are also common. The term “coleslaw” arose in the 18th century as an anglicisation of the Dutch term “koolsla” (“kool” in Dutch sounds like “cole”) meaning “cabbage salad”. The “cole” part of the word comes from the Latin colis, meaning “cabbage”.

Preperation:
Mix the buttermilk with mayonnaise, vinegar and honey to a smooth dressing. Season with salt and pepper.
