Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups (finely chopped) Green cabbage
- 0.25 cup (finely grated) Carrots
- 2 tablespoons (minced) Onion
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Buttermilk
- 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
- 2.5 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1.5 tablespoons White vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Finely chop the green cabbage either by hand or using a food processor. Aim for the same size pieces as KFC coleslaw. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Grate the carrots finely and add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Add the minced onion to the bowl and mix the vegetables together well.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, prepare the dressing by combining the mayonnaise, whole milk, buttermilk, sugar, lemon juice, white vinegar, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Stir well to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the coleslaw to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw another stir to evenly distribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a side dish.
