Need something to bring to a picnic? How about homemade cole slaw?

It's almost picnic season. I love, love, LOVE cole slaw but have never attempted to make it myself. That is, until I found this recipe. Guess it's time to give it a shot.
8 C finely diced cabbage (about 1 head)
1⁄4 C diced carrot
2 Tbsp. minced onions
1⁄3 C granulated sugar
1⁄2 tsp. salt
1⁄8 tsp. pepper
1⁄4 C milk
1⁄2 C mayonnaise
1⁄4 C buttermilk
1-1⁄2 Tbsp. white vinegar
2 1⁄2 Tbsp. lemon juice
Finely dice the cabbage and carrots (easiest way to do this would be using the fine shredder disc on a food processor.) Pour cabbage and carrot mixture into large bowl and stir in minced onions.
Using the regular blade on a food processor, process remaining ingredients until smooth. Pour over cabbage mixture and mix thoroughly.
Cover bowl and refrigerate several hours or overnight before serving.
NOTE: I've been told that you can substitute a bag of cole slaw mix from the produce section for the cabbage and carrots and get the same results. This cole slaw is supposed to be very much like the stuff from KFC.
