Copycat KFC Coleslaw

KFC Coleslaw has always been my favorite! It’s creamy and a little sweet and very simple. With spring here, I have been craving coleslaw and made this simple copycat KFC Coleslaw recipe in minutes!

The thing I love about KFC Coleslaw is how creamy and sweet it is! It’s not a vinegary slaw and it’s also not thick – it’s light and almost “juicy” – this copycat coleslaw recipe came out exactly right!

The one thing I’ll say about my recipe is – it has purple cabbage too! I know that KFC coleslaw doesn’t – but I bought a coleslaw mix of cabbage/carrots from the store and it was in there – all tastes the same. For me, it’s all about the dressing – and that is just right in this KFC coleslaw copycat recipe!

How long is KFC Coleslaw good for?

I don’t think it’ll last long in any household because everybody will eat it up! But I would say it’s good for 7-10 days. Mine was gone in 4 days – because I couldn’t help myself!

Can you freeze Copycat KFC Coleslaw?

No. With all the dairy of buttermilk and mayonnaise – I wouldn’t freeze it.

How to make KFC Coleslaw at home?

It could not be easier!!!! Literally – I was shocked! I dumped the bag of coleslaw mix out and diced it – because KFC’s is diced pretty small. Then dump that into a bowl. I minced part of an onion pretty small – dumped that in.

Then in a separate bowl mixed together mayo, milk, buttermilk, sugar, salt, pepper, apple cider vinegar and lemon juice. Whisk that together and pour over the slaw/onion mix. Stir and refrigerate! I was done in 10 minutes!!
