Description
A creamy and tangy coleslaw that replicates the iconic KFC version, featuring finely minced cabbage and carrots tossed in a buttermilk-based dressing with a perfect balance of sweetness and citrus.
Ingredients
6 cups cabbage, finely chopped
1 carrot, grated
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup whole milk
2 tbsp buttermilk
2 tbsp finely grated lemon juice
2 tbsp sugar
Instructions
Finely chop cabbage to a rice-like texture
Grate carrot and set aside in a bowl
In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, milk, buttermilk, lemon juice, and sugar until smooth
Add the cabbage and grated carrot to the dressing
Stir until evenly coated
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld
Serve cold as a side
Notes
Finely chopping the cabbage is key to achieving the desired texture and flavor absorption.
For a fresher taste, allow the coleslaw to sit in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours before serving.
Use a high-quality mayonnaise for the most authentic taste.
Do not use bagged coleslaw mix; homemade finely chopped cabbage will yield better results.
