KFC Copycat Cole Slaw

Dr. Sweetpea is a huge fan ot KFC Coleslaw. So I found a copycat recipe online and have made it for him several times already and it's always been a huge hit. I made some minor adjustments to the recipe to suite our tastes and it's so good!

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup milk

1/4 cup buttermilk

1/3 cup granulated sugar (I always use half the amount)

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1 and 1/2 tbsp white or apple cider vinegar

2 and 1/2 tbsp lemon juice

4 cups shredded then diced cabbage (I just use a 14 oz bag of Dole Cole Slaw Mix)

1 medium carrot

1/4 medium yellow onion minced (I omit)

Shred the cabbage and carrot and dice finely. Mix all veggies in a large mixing bowl.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients. Pour over the veggies and stir all with a wooden spoon. Cover the bowl with a saran wrap and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Stir again before serving.

Chick-Fil-A Coleslaw

Dr. Sweetpea loves Chick-Fil-A and he loves their coleslaw. So it wasn't a surprise when he was devastated when they removed their coleslaw from the menu. I recently came across a THE recipe for their coleslaw and made it for Dr. Sweetpea. It only took one bite for Dr. Sweetpea to tell me that he wants me to make it at home more often.
