Buttermilk Coleslaw

  • Yield 8 servings

Using sugar substitutes and low-fat ingredients make this a healthier take on a picnic side classic.

"I'm from New Orleans, a Hurricane Katrina evacuee, now living in Arkansas. My new neighbors at the apartment complex here in Hot Springs love this slaw."

Ingredients

1 cup raisins
1/4 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 to 2 tablespoon sugar or sugar substitute, such as Splenda
1 cup 1% low-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1 (16-ounce) package shredded coleslaw mix
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine raisins, orange juice, lemon juice and sugar in a large bowl; stir to blend. Let stand 5 minutes to slightly soften raisins.
