This coleslaw is legendary for a reason! It’s creamy, tangy, and has just the right amount of sweetness. Perfect as a side dish for any meal, it’s especially great with fried chicken or barbecue. Let’s dive into making this classic favorite!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 8 cups finely chopped cabbage (approx. 1 head)
- 1/4 cup shredded carrot (1 medium carrot)
- 2 tablespoons minced onion
How to Make It:
- Prep the Vegetables: Ensure the cabbage and carrots are chopped into very fine pieces, just a bit bigger than rice grains. This fine texture is key to the classic KFC coleslaw.
- Make the Dressing: In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sugar, milk, buttermilk, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Beat until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Mix the Coleslaw: Add the finely chopped cabbage, shredded carrot, and minced onion to the bowl with the dressing. Mix everything together until the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 2 hours before serving. For the best flavor, let it sit overnight. The flavors meld together beautifully with a bit of time.
