Just an old family recipe that I have been told is reminiscent of KFC coleslaw. You be the judge! To speed things up I sometimes just buy an already shredded bag of cabbage with carrots in it and then just chop it a little finer.

  • Use a variety of cabbages and carrots to add color and flavor to your coleslaw. Red cabbage, green cabbage, and Savoy cabbage are all good choices.
  • Add other vegetables to your coleslaw, such as broccoli, cauliflower, or bell peppers.
  • Use a creamy dressing for a classic coleslaw, or try a vinaigrette dressing for a lighter version.
  • Season the coleslaw to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices.
  • Let the coleslaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving, so the flavors can meld.
