Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 cups finely diced cabbage
- 2 tablespoon grated carrots
- 1 tablespoon minced onion
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place cabbage, carrots, and onions in a large bowl and stir to combine. Some of the shredded carrots may clump together. They will finish separating when mixing with the dressing.
- In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients and stir until smooth and creamy.
- Pour dressing over the cabbage and mix until all of the cabbage has been coated with dressing.
- Place coleslaw into a covered dish and place it into the refrigerator. It can be eaten immediately, but the flavor is greatly improved with at least 4 hours of refrigeration.
Notes
- 1 medium head of cabbage or 1/2 of a large head of cabbage will make 8 cups of diced cabbage.
- Thinly sliced cabbage or coleslaw can be substituted for finely diced cabbage. The texture will not be the same as KFC.
- Do not add more dressing than the recipe calls for.
- Do not add any additional milk, you won’t need it. The coleslaw will make its own liquid.
- Fresh lemon juice will provide the best flavor.
- Regular milk can be substituted for the buttermilk for less tang.
- This can be eaten immediately but is best after it chilling in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
- A bag of premade coleslaw mix can be substituted, the flavors will be the same, but the texture will be off.
