Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Green cabbage
- 0.25 cup Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Small onion
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 2.5 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2.5 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Finely chop the green cabbage, carrots, and onion or use a food processor to pulse them into small, rice-sized pieces to match KFC's coleslaw texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, whole milk, granulated sugar, white vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk until the dressing is smooth and well blended.
Add the chopped cabbage, carrots, and onion to the bowl with the dressing.
Gently toss everything together until all the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick stir to redistribute any dressing that may have settled at the bottom.
Serve chilled as a side dish and enjoy!
