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.

½ cup peanuts, roasted, coarsely chopped
¼ cup parsley, coarsely chopped
½ cup peanut butter
¼ cup brown sugar
1 cup cider vinegar

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp cabbage and carrots. Shred them by hand or use a food processor fitted with a shredding blade.

  • To make the dressing, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, sugar, vinegar, celery seeds, and salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little kick.
  • Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld.
