Perfect Coleslaw

This coleslaw recipe, modified from allrecipes.com, has been a staple in my kitchen for many years. Nothing goes better with barbequed meats, roasts than a good coleslaw! It is tangy with a bit of sweetness, crunchy and perfect all around.

• 1 package 16oz coleslaw mix
• 2 tbsp white onion, minced
• 1/3 cups white sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 cups buttermilk
• 1/4 cups milk
• 1/2 cups mayonnaise
• 1 1/2 tbsp white wine vinegar
• 2 1/2 tbsp lemon juice 
• 1 tbsp poppy seeds

1. Combine the coleslaw and onion in a large bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, salt, pepper, milk, mayonnaise, buttermilk, vinegar and lemon juice; mix until smooth. Pour mixture over the coleslaw and onion; stir well and chill for 1 hour.
