Coleslaw

Note: Supposedly this is the KFC recipe. I'm not sure about that, but I do know the only two types of coleslaw I will eat are KFC and this recipe. Take from that what you will...

Ingredients:
8 cups shredded cabbage
1/4 cup carrot, shredded
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 Tbsp white vinegar
2 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice


Combine cabbage and carrots. In another bowl mix remaining ingredients and combine thoroughly. Pour liquid ingredients over cabbage and carrots and stir. Refrigerate at least two hours before serving (longer is better). Stir well before serving.

What I did differently from the recipe:
I used to shred the cabbage myself. Now I buy the handy dandy bags of coleslaw. To me, it's worth spending the $2 on that. Then I just shred one or two carrots if I have them on hand. I use Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise but that's just personal preference.

What I'll do differently next time:
Same as above.

Verdict:
Thumbs up! This recipe is classic - I make it for every cookout, festival or Thanksgiving that I get the chance. It's SUPER easy and so delicious! And that's coming from someone who really dislikes coleslaw.
