2 Tablespoons white vinegar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
2 Tablespoons minced onion

Instructions

Cup of Yum

Chop and shred carrots and cabbage using a food processor, pulsing until they are about the size of rice. Do not OVER pulse. Pour into a large bowl. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sugar, buttermilk, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, pepper, and minced onion.
Pour dressing over carrot and cabbage mixture. Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Serve cold. KFC coleslaw tastes best straight from the fridge!
Don’t rush the marinating. Leaving the slaw in the fridge for at least 2 hours helps the flavors fully develop and combine.
Storing. Store prepared KFC coleslaw in the fridge and enjoy within 2 days for best freshness.
Serve on a bun with root beer pulled pork!
