📝 Instructions

7 steps
1

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.

2

Grate the carrots finely and add them to the bowl with the cabbage.

3

Add the minced onion to the bowl and mix the vegetables together well.

4

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.

5

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Stir well to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.

6

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.

7

Before serving, give the coleslaw another stir to evenly distribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a side dish.
