Instructions:
- Prepare the Dressing:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, granulated sugar, milk, buttermilk, lemon juice, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the sugar dissolves, and the mixture is smooth. Refrigerate the dressing while preparing the coleslaw to allow the flavors to meld.
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- Finely chop the cabbage and shred the carrot. You can use a food processor or a sharp knife for this. Mince the onion finely.
- Combine Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, toss together the chopped cabbage, shredded carrot, and minced onion until evenly mixed.
- Dress the Coleslaw:
- Retrieve the dressing from the refrigerator and give it a good stir. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Use a spatula or large spoon to thoroughly coat the vegetables with the dressing. Ensure all the veggies are well coated for a consistent flavor.
- Chill and Serve:
- Cover the bowl of coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to meld and enhances the taste. Stir the coleslaw once more before serving.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once chilled, the KFC-style coleslaw is ready to serve. It pairs excellently with fried chicken, sandwiches, or as a refreshing side dish for various meals.
Tips:
- For a creamier texture, you can increase the amount of mayonnaise slightly.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar according to your taste preferences.
- Freshly shredded cabbage and carrot work best for this recipe.
- Make sure to refrigerate the coleslaw for a sufficient amount of time before serving to enhance its flavor.
