Copycat KFC Coleslaw Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 small head green cabbage (about 6 cups), finely chopped

• 1 medium carrot, peeled and shredded

• 1/4 small onion, finely minced

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise

• 1/4 cup buttermilk (or sub with milk + 1 tsp vinegar)

• 1/4 cup whole milk

• 1/3 cup granulated sugar

• 2 1/2 tbsp lemon juice

• 1 1/2 tbsp white vinegar

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

1. Chop the Veggies:

   • Finely chop the cabbage — the texture is key, almost minced.

   • Shred the carrot and mince the onion. Mix them all in a large bowl.

2. Make the Dressing:

   • In another bowl, whisk together the mayo, buttermilk, milk, sugar, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.

3. Combine:

   • Pour the dressing over the cabbage mix. Toss until everything is well coated.

4. Chill:

   • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better!) to let the flavors marry.

5. Serve Cold:

   • Give it a quick stir before serving. Boom — KFC vibes unlocked.

🧊 Pro Tips:

• Want it extra smooth? Pulse the cabbage mix a few times in a food processor before adding dressing.

• Keeps well in the fridge for 3–4 days.
