Instructions
Step 1
Start by mixing the cabbage and carrots together in a big bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk up the dressing by combining the creamy salad dressing, mayo, buttermilk, sour cream, honey, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, salt, basil pesto, mustard, cayenne, celery seed, onion powder, black pepper, and garlic powder until it's nice and smooth. Pour about half of the dressing over the cabbage and give it a good toss to coat everything evenly. Keep adding the rest of the dressing little by little until the slaw looks just how you like it. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for at least three hours so all those flavors can really come together.
