Instructions

1. Finely chop the cabbage and carrots, and mince the onion. Use a food processor for best texture but do not over-process.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, milk, sugar, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.

3. Add chopped cabbage, carrots, and onion to the bowl and mix thoroughly to coat all vegetables evenly.

4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to blend and the slaw to chill.

5. Before serving, stir the coleslaw well and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve cold.

Notes

Use fresh cabbage for maximum crunch.

Letting the coleslaw sit overnight improves the flavor significantly.

Chop vegetables finely to get that authentic KFC texture.
