    Categories: Copycat, Salads
    Yield: 12 Servings

    8 c Cabbage (1); finely chopped
    1/4 c Carrot (1 md); shredded
    2 tb Onion; minced
    1/3 c Granulated sugar
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/8 ts Pepper

    If you've ever seen a clone recipe for KFC Cole Slaw floating around
    on the Internet, it probably looks like this. That's because this
    formula has become one of the most copied & pasted recipes from the
    first book, "Top Secret Recipes." It's also one of the most requested
    recipes on the TSR Message Board. So, to fulfill all those requests,
    and to stake claim to a recipe that's rarely sourced as a TSR
    original, here's the killer recipe to clone the world's best slaw.

    Be sure cabbage and carrots are chopped up into very fine pieces,
    about the size of rice.

    Combine the sugar, salt, pepper, milk, mayonnaise, buttermilk,
    vinegar, and lemon juice in a large bowl and beat until smooth.

    Add the cabbage, carrots, and onion, and mix well.

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

    Hi Ben,

    Title: KFC Cole Slaw

    One of the (few) things that the Colonel gets "right".

    That's one of the things I don't like about KFC. OTOH, my usual side
    dish at Popeye's is cole slaw.

    Here's a low fat recipe for KFC Cole Slaw. Coleslaw varies a lot from place to place. I used to get it at A&W but the last few times i
    noticed it was ridiculously sweet. They over-sugared it by far. When
    i make it at home, i do not use any sugar at all.

    My mother in law gave me the cole slaw recipe we like--and judge all
    others by its standard. I can't give specific amounts of ingredients
    because I don't measure (except by "looks about right") when I make it.

    MOM'S COLE SLAW

    Cabbage, slice, diced, about half a head, maybe 4 cups
    One good sized carrot, shredded
    Pineapple, either crushed or chopped up slices or tidbits, about half a
    cup
    Sugar, maybe 1 tbsp, give or take
    Salt and pepper to taste
    About 1/4 cup pineapple juice
    Mayonaise

    Combine cabbage, carrot and pineapple juice. Add sugar, s&p, mayo to
    taste and enough pineapple juice to slightly thin mayo. Chill for
    several hours.

    Sorry I can't be more specific but I've made this for so many years
    without measuring that this is the closest I can come to exact amounts.
    The pineapple is what elevates this from a mediocre to a really good
    slaw in our opinion.
