Description
This spot-on KFC coleslaw copycat recipe delivers the creamy, tangy, slightly sweet flavor you know and love. With finely chopped cabbage, carrots, and onion tossed in a simple dressing, it’s the perfect side dish for BBQs, fried chicken, or burgers.

1/2 head green cabbage, finely chopped (about 4 cups)
-
1/4 cup shredded or finely chopped carrot
-
2 tablespoons finely minced onion
-
1/3 cup granulated sugar
-
1/2 cup mayonnaise
-
1/4 cup buttermilk
-
1/4 cup whole milk

2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
-
1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat evenly.

se a food processor for a finer chop, just like KFC’s texture.
