  • Author: Sarah White
  • Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes (includes chilling)
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

Creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet, this homemade KFC coleslaw tastes just like the classic side dish everyone loves. Perfect for BBQs and family meals.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ head of cabbage, finely shredded
  • ½ medium carrot, grated
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp buttermilk
  • 4¼ tsp white vinegar
  • 2½ tbsp sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Finely shred the cabbage and grate the carrot. Place them together in a large mixing bowl. 
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk mayonnaise, buttermilk, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. 
  3. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture, then stir gently until everything is evenly coated. 
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to blend.

Notes

For the best texture, chop the cabbage finely. Coleslaw keeps in the fridge for 3–4 days in an airtight container. Flavor improves after chilling overnight.
