KFC Cole Slaw

10 servings per cabbage.
1-2 heads of Cabbage
1- Green Bell Pepper
1- Small Onion
1- Medium to Large Carrot
2- C. of Miracle Whip Light
1/2 C. Sugar
1/4 C. Vinegar
1/4 C. Vegetable oil

If you are Lucky to have a Food Processor Cut up Cabbage, while cutting up Cabbage Cut small slices of Green Pepper and Onion, or Carrot and add to Processor. This will help distribute flavor throughout slaw. You should only use 1/4 to 1/2 of Onion and Green Pepper but use all of the Carrot. If you truly love green pepper or onion you can add all but I do not recommend it.
Now mix Miracle whip, vinegar, and oil, Sugar. Mix smooth. Taste should be sweet with just a hint of vinegar. Amount of slaw dressing may be increased or decreased according to the amount of slaw you are making.
Add to cut up cabbage and Mix well. Let stand 1-hour if possible to let flavors mix. You will be happy with the results.

    Can you substitute may for miracle whip?

    I would not use Miracle Whip in this recipe, it will not taste the same if you use Miracle Whip if you want it to taste like KFC.

    I just find it hard to believe this is KFC recipe. I love their coleslaw! It DOES NOT have Bell Pepper in it and I would know because I have a terrible reaction to Bell pepper. I question the sugar AND miracle whip too. I won’t be making this and I’m disappointed…will look elsewhere for something different

    I didn’t say it was their recipe, I said it is ‘Better Than KFC’ cole slaw. I appreciate your insight on the recipe, and hope you find exactly what you are looking for!

    I made this for Thanksgiving. It was delicious. I used Miracle Whip Light. It DOES taste very much like KFC coleslaw. Make it the night before and it tastes better the next day.

  • Cindy

    I beg to differ about the bell pepper. If you go to this link and look at the picture, you’ll see Bell Pepper.

    I don’t dispute you. I personally loathe the bell pepper, and so did the author of this recipe. That’s why I call this one Better Than KFC Cole Slaw ;0)

    i love kfc´s cole slaw salad i made it with this recipe and it tastes amazing, just like kfc i love it

  • Lindsbillinger

    Instead of slicing he coleslaw and carrots, etc…i just bought the bagged coleslaw mix. I used 2 1/2 bags to the dressing amount called for here. It was a good thing i added more cabbage, because the tiny bit of onion i put in overpowered everything else. Very strong onion. whew…I thought this was a great recipe, tasted very similar to KFC and I would def make again…thanks!
