KFC Coleslaw

By RoketJSquerl

"This coleslaw is great, but I worked at KFC back in the 90's when we made slaw from scratch and we used miracle whip, sugar, oil, tarragon vinegar and salt for the sauce."

The results, at first taste, were pretty close to KFC's, but there seemed to be an overwhelming fresh cabbage flavor right after making it. However, after this sat in the refrigerator for several hours, the cabbage had time to soak up the flavor of the dressing, and that did it! Just like KFC!

Ingredients

• DRESSING:
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise (try Miracle Whip)
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar (try tarragon vinegar)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• SLAW:
• 1 head of cabbage
• 1 medium carrot (about 1/4 cup)
• 2 tablespoons minced onion

Preparation

Step 1

Chop cabbage into chunks and run through your food processor, or chop fine.

Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a large bowl, whisk well.

Combine cabbage, carrots, and onion and toss well. Pour dressing over the slaw and turn to coat well.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving to allow the cabbage to soak up the marinade. Overnight is best.

Serves 10 to 12.
