Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Green cabbage
- 1 cup Carrots
- 2 tablespoons White onion
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup White vinegar
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Buttermilk
- 1.5 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Finely shred the green cabbage into thin strands, ensuring it closely resembles the texture of KFC coleslaw.
Peel and grate the carrots. Combine the shredded cabbage and carrots in a large mixing bowl.
Finely mince the white onion until it’s almost paste-like, and add it to the cabbage mixture.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, granulated sugar, white vinegar, milk, buttermilk, lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing mixture over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss everything thoroughly until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick stir to ensure the dressing is evenly distributed.
Serve chilled as a classic side dish to fried chicken, barbecue, or any of your favorite comfort foods.
