Coleslaw

I found this recipe online years ago and have been using it ever since.  It is easy to make and tastes very much like the coleslaw served at KFC.  

This recipe tastes good right away but even more amazing the next day!  I usually cut the recipe in half and still get plenty of leftovers for the week.  When I made this for our 4^th of July celebration I bought a 4lb head of cabbage and used half of it for this coleslaw, which made more than enough for 4 people.   

Yield: 7 cups of slaw.  I would guess enough to feed 10 people as a side dish. Perfect for a picnic or church pot luck!  

1/2 cup mayonnaise (I use Light Mayo)

1/3 cup sugar

¼ cup milk

2 ½ Tbsp lemon juice

2 Tbsp vinegar

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp pepper

8 cups cabbage, shredded (1 head)

1 or 2 shredded carrots

2 Tbsp mined onion

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. 

Cover and let sit in refrigerator at least 30 minutes.  It will taste even more like KFC coleslaw the longer it rests.  You will also notice the sauce will become thinner the longer it rests, which is nice because it tastes a lot lighter than a thick, heavy, mayo rich sauce.

Serve to hungry guests!
