KFC Coleslaw (taken from Top Secret Recipes)

8 cups very finely chopped cabbage (about 1head)

1/4 cup shredded carrot

1/3 cup granulated sugar (sugar substitute works great here)

1/2 tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

1/4 cup milk

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup buttermilk

1 1/2 TBS white vinegar

2 1/2 TBS lemon juice

1. Be sure that the cabbage and carrots are chopped up into very fine pieces
(about the size of rice kernels)

2. Combine the sugar (or substitute) salt, pepper, milk, mayonnaise,
buttermilk, vinegar and lemon juice. Beat until very smooth.

3. Add the cabbage and carrots. Mix well.

4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

The critical part of this cole slaw recipe is the flavor-enhancement period
prior to eating. Be absolutely certain that the cole slaw sits in the
refrigerator for at least 2 hours prior to serving for a great tasting slew
of slaw.

awesome!

I'm going to make this Thursday when i do my shopping!

Yes please do I might be tempted to do this recipe myself I'd do
the veggies in the food processor, separate from each other and in small
batches, can judge the exact right moment to stop the processor.

I am debating on buying a pre chopped mix or doing fresh..I am leaning fresh
but I'm lazy..lol

we decided to wait until she's off Saturday and will grill steaks and have
the slaw as the side

cant wait!

I often buy dry slaw and add ranch at home but I haven't seen the finely
chopped lately. Only the shredded. Mind you I think a second or 2 of
zapping the shredded in a processor would work. Only thing is pre-packed
comes with purple cabbage here, something not in the KFC stuff.

I might get ingredients today if I can. Busy day though. Kid went with
his dad to motor registry to do learner's computer test yesterday and
missed 2 vital questions. I am taking him today while he still has the
questions fresh in his head, lol. Then I have to find an indicator stick
for the car because I snapped mine off (long story) and get two tyres
replaced. Plus book him a couple of lessons (if he passes the test
today) in a dual control car, lol.

they finally removed the trick questions from the tests here..was a actual
news story..lol

for funzies while your there take your motorcycle test while he is doing the
car one..I did that when I went with a friend and passed and got a permit to
drive for a year..lol

I tired to get a truckers one once too when I went with a GF but I failed it
buy 3 questions.

Hubby loves this stuff. I think I've mentioned before, too, that if
you put your chopped cabbage in a colander, salt it well, let it drain
for an hour or so, and then rinse it well, it stays crispy (if you
like it crispy :-) ) and it removes the water from the cabbage that
ends up pooling at the bottom of the bowl on day two. :-)

Thanks, Cheri. :-) I really like it because even half of a cabbage
makes a much bigger batch than we can finish off in a couple of days.
This keeps it "fresh" for the day or two longer that we need to eat it
all. I sure wish I could remember where I heard or read about it
originally. Hum -- probably Cook's Illustrated. :-)
