KFC Coleslaw Copycat

Baked beans or coleslaw?

My kids choose baked beans – they always choose beans. I love this about their palates! Plus, sugar. Bacon. It makes sense, I guess. They’re so predictable at times. Wink.

But for me, it’s never a tough choice – it’s always coleslaw. That said, some are better than others. In fact, some are really, really good…and others are anything but. I love trying slaw at various restaurants, especially since Mark doesn’t like coleslaw. Or so he says. He always forks it over. Pun intended.

My CSA boxes have included 1-2 heads of cabbage each WEEK and I’ve been actively seeking any and all cabbage recipes (help?).

Coleslaw was one of the recipes I made with my CSA cabbage and Pinterest pointed me in the direction of this KFC copycat recipe. And it’s a definite winner!

The 4th of July is quickly approaching (which means my birthday is too!) and so backyard barbecues and cookouts are in full swing. A barbecue staple will forever be slaw and given that you can make it advance and only improve the flavor – total winner and gem of a recipe for summer entertaining or get-togethers!
