COPYCAT KFC COLESLAW: THE REAL THING



Copycat KFC Coleslaw: the Real Thing image

I am an avid collector of recipes. A young lady, a former KFC employee, was looking at my recipes one evening when she discovered this one. She told me that the recipe was close, but that I should remove the vinegar and lemon juice and replace them with tarragon vinegar. Tarragon vinegar is the secret. Note: This is one of the recipes I adopted in the Great 'Zaar Orphan Adoption of 2005. I hope you enjoy it.

I copied these ingredients from the KFC coleslaw container years ago. Yes, they did list Miracle Whip, not mayo! It always goes quick, but I never get any compliments when I bring it as a dish to pass because they all think that I just picked it up from KFC and put it in my own bowl! I use the bags of coleslaw mix from the produce section of my store and chop it in the food processor, but you can use a 1 lb head of cabbage, and a couple of carrots instead if you wish.

KFC EASY COPYCAT COLESLAW



KFC Easy Copycat Coleslaw image

I got this recipe off the internet, but haven't tried it yet. I liked the idea that it didn't call for buttermilk, which I never have on hand, but usually have sour cream. Wanted to post it here for easy access. Cooking time is refrigeration time. BTW, I realize that I could make homemade copycat buttermilk, but there's too much redundancy, with the milk and vinegar already in this recipe.

Time 2h15m

Yield 2 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (14 ounce) package cabbage coleslaw mix
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 -2 teaspoon finely minced onion (optional)
paprika (optional)

Steps:

  • Place coleslaw in non-reactive bowl.
  • Whisk together sugar and next seven ingredients thoroughly, plus onion if using.
  • Pour over coleslaw mix and stir to coat. May add paprika at this point, if desired.
  • Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
  • Note: Mix may seem dry at first, but will loosen up after cabbage reacts to the dressing and releases it's moisture. Also, when I've made my traditional coleslaw recipe, I grate my onion, because I don't like the minced bits.
