KFC Coleslaw Recipe
KFC’s coleslaw is a classic side dish known for its creamy, tangy flavor and crunchy texture. If you’re craving this popular dish but don’t want to leave the house, you can make it yourself with this easy recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 small head of cabbage (about 1 pound), finely shredded
- 2 large carrots, peeled and finely shredded
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
For the Dressing:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- Shred the cabbage and carrots finely. You can use a food processor for a quicker and more uniform shred. Place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the finely chopped onion to the bowl.
- Make the Dressing:
- In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, white vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine and Mix:
- Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables. Toss everything together until the cabbage and carrots are evenly coated with the dressing. Ensure that all the vegetables are covered to achieve that creamy texture.
- Chill and Serve:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This allows the flavors to meld together and the coleslaw to chill properly. For the best results, let it sit overnight.
- Adjust Seasoning:
- After chilling, give the coleslaw a taste. If needed, adjust the seasoning by adding a bit more salt, pepper, or sugar according to your preference.
- Serve:
- Serve the coleslaw cold as a side dish to complement your favorite meals. It pairs wonderfully with fried chicken, burgers, or as a topping for sandwiches.
Tips:
- For extra crunch, you can add a handful of finely chopped celery or green onions.
- If you prefer a lighter coleslaw, you can substitute some of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
