Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups green cabbage finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup carrot finely grated
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

Equipment

  • Large bowl

Method
 

  1. Finely chop the cabbage and grate the carrot into a large bowl.
  2. Whisk together the mayo, sugar, milk, buttermilk, lemon juice, and vinegar until smooth.
  3. Pour over the cabbage and toss to coat.
  4. Cover and chill at least 2 hours (or overnight) before serving.

Notes

Chop the cabbage very fine - that's the KFC signature. Chilling is essential so the flavors meld and the slaw softens slightly.
