Nana’s Southern Coleslaw

Description

Just an old family recipe that I have been told is reminiscent of KFC coleslaw. You be the judge! To speed things up I sometimes just buy an already shredded bag of cabbage with carrots in it and then just chop it a little finer.

Ingredients

  • 1 head cabbage, finely shredded
  • 2 carrots, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ⅓ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Mix cabbage
  2. carrots
  3. and onion in a large salad bowl. Whisk mayonnaise
  4. sugar
  5. milk
  6. buttermilk
  7. lemon juice
  8. vinegar
  9. salt
  10. and black pepper in a separate bowl until smooth and the sugar has dissolved.
  11. Pour dressing over cabbage mixture and mix thoroughly. Cover bowl and refrigerate slaw at least 2 hours (the longer the better). Mix again before serving.
