1 cup thinly sliced celery with some leaves (about 120 g)
1 cup matchstick carrots (about 120 g)
1 small crisp apple (e.g., Granny Smith), cut into matchsticks
1 / 3 cup very thinly sliced red onion (about 40 g)
1 / 2 cup crumbled blue cheese (about 60 g)
2 tbsp chopped fresh chives (about 8 g)
1 / 3 cup buttermilk (80 ml)
1 / 4 cup mayonnaise (60 ml)
2 tbsp sour cream or plain Greek yogurt (30 ml)
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (15 ml)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (15 ml)
1 tsp Dijon mustard (5 ml)
1 tsp honey (5 ml)
1 / 4 tsp garlic powder
1 / 4 tsp celery seed
1 / 4 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 / 4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon, honey, garlic powder, celery seed, salt, and pepper until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, celery, carrots, apple, and red onion.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss until evenly coated.
Fold in the blue cheese and chives.
Cover and chill for 15–30 minutes to let flavors meld and the cabbage slightly soften.
Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed, then serve cold alongside the Buffalo wings for a cooling, tangy counterpoint.
