Remove any dirty or damaged outer leaves from 1 head of green cabbage (or half a green and half a red cabbage) and discard. Cut the cabbage first in half and then cut the halves into quarters.
Remove the core from each of the quarters with a knife and discard (the core may be a bit too tough for coleslaw).
Place each of the quarters flat-side down on a cutting board and chop the cabbage into thin strips. Repeat with a second cabbage if using.
Place the shredded cabbage in a large bowl (yields 8-10 heaping cups of shredded cabbage).

Add ½ cup full fat sour cream, ½ cup mayo, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce, and ¼ tsp. each of kosher salt and pepper in a small bowl. Stir until completely combined using a fork or a small whisk.
Add 1 cup of blue cheese crumbles to the dressing and stir until completely combined.
Mince 2 Tbsp. of fresh herbs such as chives or parsley and add to the dressing. Stir until combined. (This step is optional).
Pour as much (or as little) of the dressing over the cabbage and toss until completely combined.
Any leftover dressing may be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days and used as a dip for veggies or drizzled onto salads.
Place the coleslaw into the fridge for an hour or so before serving. (This step is not required but can help the flavors to develop a bit).
To Serve: Serve as a side dish or as a topping for buffalo chicken sandwiches or burgers.

The nutritional values are calculated using all of the dressing and may change depending on how much dressing is used.

This recipe makes a large batch of coleslaw and can be cut in half if needed.

Feel free to use as much or as little of the dressing as you like. More dressing results in a stronger blue cheese flavor.
