Course Side Dish
Cuisine American
Servings 8 people

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Bag coleslaw mix or 6 cups finely shredded cabbage + 1 carrot grated
  • 1/4 cup finely mined onion Optional but athentic
  • 1/2 cup mayonaise
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk No buttermilk? 1/4 cup milk and 1 tsp vinegar let sit for 5 minutes.
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 TBSP lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 TBSP white vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp salt More or less to taste
  • 1/2 tsp pepper More or less to taste
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder Optional
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder Optional

Instructions
 

  • Mix the dressing: Whisk together all the dressing ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Everything but the carrots, cabbage and onion.
  • If you're shredding cabbage and carrot by hand or in a food processor, aim for a fine chop (KFC’s is almost minced!).
  • Combine & Chill! Pour dressing over cabbage mix and onion. Stir well to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, but it’s best overnight. It gets creamier and more flavorful the longer it sits!
  • TIPS:
    Want it extra sweet like KFC? Add a pinch more sugar.
    No buttermilk? No problem! Mix milk with lemon juice and let sit for 5 minutes.
    Keeps in the fridge for 3–4 days!
