Cut the sugar down and shred your own cabbage much better. Bagged salads and coleslaw mixes are not fresh in the bags much cleaner fresher brighter taste when you make your own not to mention much healthier

Way too much sugar. I added additional vinegar, lemon juice and mayo to counteract the sweetness. I didn't really taste the zest of the buttermilk--probably would not use regular milk and add additional buttermilk.
