KFC Coleslaw!

Everyone loves KFC Coleslaw (Well, not everyone but here is the big BIG clue on how to get people to like Coleslaw!) Recently, my family and I had a Christmas BBQ and for appetizers, my mum asked me to make coleslaw. But! My mum is not a fan of coleslaw at all! She hates eating eat! However, it seems that she tried one that her friend made and it seems that she liked it. She told me where to get the recipe and voila! Out came a recipe that was even accepted by my 2nd sis who also hates coleslaw.
KFC COLESLAW RECIPE FROM A "TOP SECRET" COOKBOOK *cool right XD*

* 8 cups finely diced cabbage (about 1 head)

* 1/4 cup diced carrot
* 2 tablespoons minced onions
* 1/3 cup granulated sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/8 teaspoon pepper
* 1/4 cup milk
* 1/2 cup mayonnaise
* 1/4 cup buttermilk
* 1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
* 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

Method

1. Shred the cabbage and carrots finely.

2. Chop onions.
3. Mix all together.
4. Mix remainding ingredients in a bowl.
5. Pour sauce on the mixed vege and chill for a couple of hours / overnight.
6. Serve cold~


So simple isn't it! The best thing is, you can alter the ingredients to suit your taste. For example, I am 100000..% not a fan of any sort of vinegar. The minute I taste vinegar, I can throw up. Therefore, I omitted white vinegar when I made my coleslaw and instead added more lemon juice ( vinegar and lemon juice are both sour so who can tell the difference *wink*) Here are a couple more changes you can do.


a) Need more color? Add purple cabbage~
b) Love onions? Add more! (My sis is a fan of onions, and when she added more into our recipe, she immediately accepted it)
c) Can't find buttermilk? I didn't use any and it tasted great!
d) Love carrots? Add em!
e) Making coleslaw to match an orange theme? Adding more carrots will make the sauce orange.
f)Sweet? Salty? Peppery? Adjust them to your taste.
g) Not a fan of dairy products? Don't worry, you won't taste much milk (My mum and 2nd sister can't stand the taste of dairy products and they were ok with this coleslaw).


There are so many more variations so just try your ideas out! Change one thing and it becomes a new recipe! Try and experimenting are the first few steps to becoming your own chef after all!! ENJOY!
