This Coleslaw is a new recipe to me that I tried out on the family over the weekend. My daughter Angela and her children Ginger and Charlie were visiting us from out of town, and my daughter Susan and her son Landon were here to visit with them, so I had plenty of expert taste testers. They gave this copycat recipe a thumbs up, so I am sharing it. My recipe is adapted from one posted on the Food site.
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
Pour the shredded coleslaw into a large bowl. Stir in the minced onion. In a separate bowl (you may want to use a food processor) combine sugar, salt, pepper, milk, mayonnaise, buttermilk, vinegar, and lemon juice. Mix until ingredients are well blended. Pour over cabbage mixture and mix thoroughly. Cover bowl and refrigerate for several hours or overnight before serving.
Mix the sugar, salt, pepper, milk, mayonnaise, buttermilk, vinegar, and lemon juice together as a dressing for the coleslaw.

Oh my heck! I am pretty picky about my coleslaw =o) but do love KFCs! I'll have to give this a try. Awesome! (And I would like the convenience of a pre-packaged slaw as well so I'm sticking with that) =o)

I do love coleslaw–this recipe looks like a keeper. Pre-shredded cabbage is wonderful. Use it and smile!

I love slaw! I will definitely try your recipe. I usually buy the Marzetti (Light) Slaw dressing, but I also like to make my own. I love a vinegar or a creamy dressing, but hubby wants creamy.

I love KFC coleslaw although I haven't had it now for years. I'm not a picky eater but I am picky about coleslaw as there are so many different kinds and they can be as different as night and day. I am excited about this one! Thank you so much!

I'll have to try this. Coleslaw is either great or not quite right, and KFC makes a good one!
