KFC STYLE COLESLAW FOR DIABETICS
My wife is both allergic to the oil in onions, AND we are both diabetic. I have a recipe that I created for her, that very closely resembles the taste of KFC coleslaw, without the onion oil, and also cuts down on the carbs, for our diabetes.

Tips:
- Choosing the right cabbage is key. Look for firm, compact heads that are heavy for their size. Avoid any heads that show signs of bruising or wilting.
- Shred the cabbage finely. This will help it absorb the dressing better and make the coleslaw easier to eat.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your coleslaw. This will add flavor, color, and texture to the dish. Some good options include carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers, and radishes.
- Make your own dressing. This will allow you to control the ingredients and make sure it is both healthy and delicious. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard is a good option.
- Add some sweetness to your coleslaw. This can be done with sugar, honey, or a sugar-free sweetener. Just be sure to add it to taste so that the coleslaw is not too sweet.
- Chill the coleslaw before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and make the coleslaw more refreshing.

Diabetic coleslaw is a healthy and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is low in carbohydrates and calories, and it is packed with vitamins and minerals.
