COLE SLAW homemade that tastes like KFC

COLE SLAW homemade that tastes like KFC
1 small head GREEN CABBAGE
1 large CARROT
1/4 cup WHITE ONION, minced and soaked in cold water and drained
1/2 cup MAYO
1/3 cup SUGAR
1/2 cup MILK
2-1/2 tablespoons FRESH LEMON JUICE
1-1/2 tablespoons WHITE VINEGAR
1/2 teaspoon SALT
PEPPER to taste
Wash cabbage and cut the core out. Chop into large chunks to place into a food processor. With the blade attachment pulse until the cabbage is in large bits. Dump into a large bowl. Process the carrots to get them into small bits and pour into the bowl too. Mix all the other ingredients to make the dressing and pour over the veggies. Be sure to add the drained onion too. Stir together and pour into a smaller bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight for the best flavor. Enjoy!

You make yours exactly the same as I do ...including grated up very tiny & the same food processor !! 🤗 Someone commited on what beautiful hands you have & you do .. everything about you is beautiful .. especially your heart & personality !! 💜🙏

[@debbiekimmey1531]

Oh my goodness! Made it exactly as you did and it was delicious ! Thank you for such wonderful directions! No need to buy coleslaw from anywhere else now!

[@amyslouisianakitchen]

Debbie thank you so much for letting me know this. Yes ma'am I love love love this recipe. Glad you tried it and love it too😊💜💜💜💜💜

[@dianemccarter8452]

I make my coleslaw in food processor as well. I do not like store bought shredded cabbage it’s too dry, actually taste old. Nothing like fresh shredded cabbage and carrots for coleslaw. However, I do not use the same dressing you use. I can’t believe I have seen so many people actually putting milk, yogurt, buttermilk in coleslaw I was shocked! However, many of you folks did. I only use mayonnaise Vinegar, white vinegar that is and sugar, tiny speck of yellow mustard. Salt and pepper to taste you ought to try it sometime. It’s really great no onions,milk, yogurt, sour cream, not for me! 😂😂. Tennessee here!

[@amyslouisianakitchen]

It does, taste old, store bought in those bags. I agree.

[@lindawhite5006]

When I need a hint of onion, I use a grater instead of chopping it with a knife. Works like a charm.

[@thomsonsmith95]

Hello Linda How are you doing today?

[@alvinastrohm775]

Great tip

[@LisaSmith-kb4he]

I like to use that shredder blade and the chopper blade together. At the same time. That way, it gets all chopped up without leaving any big pieces and the processor does not work so hard. I use both blades at the same time.

[@amyslouisianakitchen]

I didn’t know I could use both blades. I’ll sure try that!!

[@stonefarmer3005]

I just saw this, and as an old KFC manager from when they started to transition to pre made dressing, I know the basic ingredients: Miracle Whip, sugar & tarragon vinegar.

This brings remembrance of my mom's coleslaw.This is how she processed the cabbage. Cabbage only; no carrots. Seasoned with salt, sugar, and vinegar. I, too, loved KFC coleslaw! Great video!

Hello Sylvia How are you doing today?

[@lisalemberis5195]

My mom makes great coleslaw with shredded cabbage & a similar dressing. She uses a combo of miracle whip, apple cider vinegar, milk & sugar. I use to make that for our little restaurant to top/side bbq pork sandwiches. Ppl always told me it was like their Grandma's! Long John Silver's taste the same but has the carrots. I do know all the big chains & big restaurants use bagged cabbage mix which is always drier(commercially dried for longer shelf life)than one shredding/chopping their own cabbage(we tried shredding & bagged at our restaurant), so when we make ours we mix the dressing together but wait to add to cabbage right before the meal so it will stay creamy. Otherwise the juice in the cabbage will start pulling out & gets thin, runny not as creamy. But I'm wondering if using the mayo with lemon juice allows it to stay creamier longer, but same taste as MW ...gonna try bc I love mayo!

Try adding about 1/2 tablespoon of dry mustard to your sauce; gives it a nice little bite. I use dry mustard in my baked beans too. I’ve even used Chinese mustard when I didn’t have dry available.

I don't use a food processor (because I don't have one) :(, but I use a shredder/grater l(ike you use for chesse etc). I don't like my cabbage so fine. I also peel my carrots and grate them also. but, I made some the other day and it was missing "something". I found out what I forgot to add when I watched your video. Thank you Amy. P.S.

May I suggest a Cuisinart Elemental 14 cup food processor (America's Test Kitchen best)? You can also get different size shredding and slicing disks for it. Put cabbage, carrots, etc. in the feed tube first sideways then in standing up for small pieces! Thanks for the recipe and video. Also maybe some Dijon mustard, hot sauce, and/or prepared horseradish, parsley in the dressing?

It's not KFC (it's much better!) but have you tried putting a bit of horseradish in your coleslaw?
