KFC-Clone Coleslaw
My husband Rod loves homemade everything except when it comes to coleslaw - then he wants “storebought”. We live 17 miles from the nearest grocery store so this doesn’t always work for me. Deep down inside who doesn’t love KFC coleslaw? I found this recipe online, tried it on him and he absolutely loves it. Truly tastes like “the real thing”.
8 C shredded cabbage
1/4 C shredded carrots
2 T minced onion
1/3 C sugar
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 C milk
1/2 C mayonnaise
1/4 C butter milk
1 1/2 T white vinegar (I use white Balsamic for its sweetness but any white vinegar will work)
2 T fresh lemon juice
- Shred the cabbage and carrots in a food processor and then empty them into a large mixing bowl. Stir in minced onion.
- Put the remaining ingredients in either the bowl of a processor or blender and blend until smooth. Pour over cabbage and carrots and mix thoroughly.
- Cover and chill several hours before serving for best flavor.
Read that a KFC worker revealed the secret ingredient was Tarragon vinegar.
