Healthier Than Kfc's Cole Slaw image

This is a much healthier version than the KFC clone by Todd Wilbur, and still TASTES GREAT! I changed ingredients to make it more approachable on a low cal, low carb or diabetic diet. It's perfect for me! I thought I had posted this before but had not, so I am really happy I saved it! I don't want to lose this recipe!!! Cook time is time to chill, so prep is really quick. Make it early in the day and it will be ready for afternoon picnics and barbecues.

Tips:

Choose the right cabbage: Green cabbage is the most commonly used cabbage for coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both. Red cabbage will give your coleslaw a beautiful purple hue.
Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the cabbage absorb the dressing better and make the coleslaw more tender.
Use a sharp knife or mandoline: This will help you get even, thin slices of cabbage.
Add other vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to your coleslaw, such as carrots, celery, bell peppers, or radishes.
Make your own dressing: Store-bought coleslaw dressing is often high in sugar and unhealthy fats. Making your own dressing is easy and allows you to control the ingredients.
Let the coleslaw chill before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.

Conclusion:

Chopped coleslaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and can be easily customized to your liking. With so many different recipes to choose from, you are sure to find a chopped coleslaw recipe that you will love.
