Buttermilk and Gorgonzola Coleslaw

I wanted to kick up the flavor in my buttermilk coleslaw recipe to accompany a spicy pork tenderloin sandwich. The combination was perfect! I set out on a mission to pair this coleslaw with other more traditional coleslaw accompaniments such as burgers and chili dogs. This recipe is a winner!

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    DRESSING: In a medium mixing bowl, preferably one with a lid, combine dried onion, dill, white sugar, mayo, buttermilk, vinegar and salt and pepper. Mix well with a whisk or a fork. Set aside for 5 minutes.
  2. 2
    *Empty coleslaw mix into a separate bowl, add in 1/2 of the dressing and fold ingredients until all is well incorporated. Store the remaining dressing in a jar with a tight fitting lid and place in the fridge.
  3. 3
    Add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and gently fold into the slaw mix until completely distributed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Adjust salt to taste before serving and add more of the dressing if you feel your slaw mix is too dry.
  4. 4
    *NOTE: After combining the dressing with the slaw mix it may appear dry, but refrain from adding more wet ingredients to moisten. As the slaw sits in the fridge, the salt and sugar within the recipe will draw out the natural water in the cabbage and dilute the dressing naturally. Additionally, you can make the dressing up to 1 week before use and store in a jar with a tight fitting lid in the fridge. When ready to use, simply add the slaw mix and Gorgonzola.

I to left out the dill as we do not care for it and we used cider vinegar in place of the rice wine vinegar which added a nice extra sweetness. I have to agree that the buttermilk was great, but I really did not care for the Gorgonzola with it. Will definately make again, but I am leaving out the Giorgonzola as I felt it overpowered the slaw. Thanks for the recipe Brandess

    I made this for a pool party yesterday and all 12 guests raved. Several of them said they don't even like slaw, but this one they did!

    This is my NEW recipe for slaw. I'm glad I found it by accident! The flavor from the buttermilk really makes a difference, so be sure to use it. The addition of only 3 TBSP of gorgonzola gives so much flavor I was surprised. The only omission I made was the dill as I do not care for it. I served this with delicious Crock Pot Barbeque Ribs #223102 & Seasoned Tater-Tots #227802.
