Servings: 10 servings
Calories: 134kcal
Equipment
- Food Processor
Ingredients
- 1 head cabbage or 8 cups of finely diced cabbage (or 16 oz. package of coleslaw mix)
- ¼ cup carrot finely diced (Omit if using pre-chopped cabbage mixture)
- 1 Tablespoon onion chopped finely
- ⅓ cup white granulated sugar
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- ¼ cup buttermilk
- ¼ cup whole milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- If chopping your own cabbage and carrots, cut the cabbage in half, and remove the core/stem of the cabbage and discard.
- Cut the cabbage in to smaller pieces so it fits nicely in to the food processor. You may have to split the cabbage pieces up, and blend a few times if all of the cabbage won't fit in the processor at once.
- Turn on the processor and allow it to chop until it is finely chopped, to resemble step 3 in the process images above. Empty cabbage (you should have about 8 cups of chopped cabbage at this point) in to a large mixing or serving bowl.
- Cut carrot up in to small pieces and place in food processor (it's ok if the bowl of the processor still has a trace of cabbage since it will all mix together anyway) and process the carrots until it's chopped in to small pieces like the cabbage.
- Empty the chopped carrot in to the same bowl with the chopped cabbage. (If you don't want to chop your onion, you can add the onion to your processor at this point and chop it. However, with it being a small amount, I find it's easier just to chop it very fine with a knife.)
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayo, onion, vinegar, sugar, seasonings, milk, and buttermilk to make the copycat KFC coleslaw dressing.
- Using a whisk, mix together until evenly blended.
- Pour the wet mixture on to the cabbage and carrots and mix together to coat the cabbage and carrots in the creamy sauce.
- Cover, and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours but up to 8 hours.
Notes
Feel free to stir the coleslaw a few times while it's resting in the refrigerator to help incorporate the flavors even more.
Enjoy this coleslaw within 4-5 days of making, it to ensure its freshness.
