KFC slaw

With the 4th of July upon us, I thought I would share a fabulous recipe I discovered. My husband loves the coleslaw from Kentucky Fried Chicken. I'm not a huge coleslaw fanatic other that KFC, in fact to try other coleslaws is nonexistent. One night after a delicious taste of coleslaw heaven he said he wished I could find a recipe for KFC's coleslaw so we could have it at home. I was determined!!

With a little tweaking of my moms coleslaw resp it was official-- The KFC Coleslaw Twin! The results, at first taste, were pretty close to KFC's, but there seemed to be an overwhelming fresh cabbage flavor right after making it. However, after sitting in the refrigerator for several hours, the cabbage had time to soak up the flavor of the dressing, and WAAALAAA! Just like KFC!

DRESSING:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup granulated 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

SLAW:
1 head of cabbage (or one bag of coleslaw)
1 medium carrot (about 1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons minced onion

Chop cabbage into chunks and run through your food processor, or chop fine.

Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a blender, mix well.

Combine cabbage, carrots, and onion and toss. Pour dressing over the slaw and stir to coat.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours before serving to allow the cabbage to soak up the marinade. Overnight is best.

Serves 10 to 12.
