| I cut the sugar back in this recipe and still nearly went into a diabetic coma! This was just awful...no tang, just rediculously sweet. And I wasn't expecting the sauce to be so runny. I'd cut way back on all the liquids. Both milk and buttermilk aren't needed, so pick one. |

| this stuff is awful. Anyone that thinks this tastes like kfc's doesn't have any taste buds. I made a batch and after letting it marinate 6 hours when i tasted it i thought i had to have made a mistake. I made another batch very carefully and it turned out the same, I can buy better slaw in the grocery store. Betty's foods in Reading pa. Their creamy slaw is as good as or maybe even better than kfc's. It's available in eastern pa. only. |

| I have been making this version for years and it is always a hit. Here is a tip, substitute sour cream for the buttermilk and you wont notice a difference! We also don't like our cabbage finely shredded so I just buy the pre-shredded cabbage and carrots blend. This also makes it a lot quicker to put together! |

| I followed this recipe to the T. It was fantastic. KFC coleslaw is the only slaw that I like, so it's the only slaw that I ever eat, so I know what it's supposed to taste like. This is it. I took it to a Super Bowl bbq and everybody swore that I stopped at KFC and transferred the slaw to my Tupperware. I wasn't sure if mayo really meant Miracle Whip in the recipe. Luckily, I went with Duke's mayo and it worked wonders. |

| I tweak this to my own taste. Instead of buying a quart of buttermilk, the smallest quantity that my supermarket carries, I just add a table spoon of dried buttermilk that I always keep on hand. I like the suggestion of adding some radish that a previous reviewer suggested. I also substitute celery salt for the salt in the recipe, and I add a teaspoon of dill seed. The result is the best slaw I've ever had. |

| I have been using this recipe ever since I bought Wilbur Todd's book a few years ago. This is a true story and I believe the cabbage in this recipe helped my husband! My husband had a 9 psa reading and prostrate cancer. He read that rats with prostrate cancer were fed raw cabbage and the cancer either improved or disappeared.
After eating this cabbage recipe for a couple months almost every day.
His psa went from 9 to a 6! I believe eating cabbage might have done the trick.

| This recipe tastes EXACTLY like KFC and is super simple. I "shred" my cabbage now by filling my blender half way with water, then adding some chunks of cabbage. Just a couple pulses will blend it enough to get the right side pieces. Drain, and do another batch until the whole cabbage is done. |

| I made this recipe today because my daughter and I decided to make a homemade version of KFC, and it turned out to be a big hit! I made a couple adjustments to the recipe (used lite mayo, plain yogurt instead of buttermilk, and fat free milk) because we are watching our calorie intake, but it still turned out to be a favorite part of the meal. It was the first thing to go! My husband said it was very close to the KFC version, but better and he was glad to have more of it available! Highly recommended! |

| Yesterday I went to a KFC near me and asked them what ingredients were in the cole slaw. The girl stated that each store makes the actual slaw in house but the dressing is pre-made and comes in a yellow container, for the stores to add. My family decided to do a taste test. Yesterday we made the online recipe and let it sit overnight and also used a container of slaw from KFC.
Nobody picked the KFC but seemed to like the flavor of the online recipe a bit better. Congrats! Thank goodness I found your recipe because I couldn't afford to buy KFC cole slaw due to the amount of it I eat. (I assume it is pretty healthy... better than a cheeseburger!) |

| Came out delicious. However, I don't like my cole slaw so sweet, so the next time I make this, I'll use a little less sugar. Also, a problem I have w/ KFC coleslaw is that I find it's too runny, so I'll also cut down on the milk. I made this recipe lowfat by using light mayo & 2% milk instead of whole milk. Still came out delicious & I'd definitely make it again. |

| The recipe is wrong. You use Spring onion not just any onions. Lemon Juice makes it too bitter. It's Cabbage, spring onion, carrot (carrot finely grated). Sauce in a processor: 1 part Mayo, 2 parts White vinegar, 1tsp Sugar, pinch salt and pepper. Mix the spring onion in the sauce not the salad.
This is the True KFC Coleslaw Recipe.
TRUST ME this WORKS |

| Absolutely the best! I get raves on it every time I serve it. The quality of KFC cole slaw has gone way down in recent years, but this tastes just the way it did "back in the day"! I leave out the onion, though, as it gets a bit overpowering the longer it sits, and I add a bit of celery seed. Great stuff!! |

| I use to work for KFC and one of my jobs was making the coleslaw. It is a very hard job as you must deal with all of the ingredients being extremely cold and most people can't handle such a temperature on their hands.
As far as this recipe goes, I am not completely sure about the amount of each ingredient, but everything here is correct. I have already made it to KFC specifications using this recipe (let it sit over night) and it has came out exactly as it is in store. |

| The KFC restaurants don't even make the salads instore. Everything is outsourced to foodservice production companies. Can you imagine the liablity they would have if they had some teenagers making everything. In Canada all of the salads for KFC are produced by a company named Keybrand. I know this because I work for a company that once distributed the salads. FYI - the green KFC coleslaw is not mayo based either - in fact none of the salads are, they are made with a whipped oil base like Miracle Whip but not even that nice. Why would you tell people to 'chop' the cabbage and carrots? They should be shredded with the shredder attatchment on a food processor or use a hand cheese grater. lol - this is probably a tasty salad recipe though. |

| OH MY GOODNESS!! This is the best cole slaw ever. I had a friend call me for my recipe, but instead I told her about this one, which I had been meaning to try. She took some for me to work the next day. Let's just say that after work I went to my local market and bought the ingredients I didn't already have and made it. The only thing I changed was decreasing the sugar in half. Also (a tip), if you don't have buttermilk (which I couldn't find at the market) all you have to do is mix 1/4 cup milk with 1 tsp of lemon juice, stir and let sit for 5 min. Voila!

| This is a wonderful recipe. It's even better on the 2nd or 3rd day. I usually make it 2 days ahead before I take it somewhere. The first time I made it no one believed me it was home made, so the next time I used the pre-shredded coleslaw mix in a bag (which cut out almost all the time). Everyone loved it. When I use shredded cabbage I use half & half instead of milk so it won't wilt as fast. I also add a tiny bit of celery seed, and about 2 teaspoons of prepared horseradish which gives it a little bit of zip. |

| Fantastic Recipe! Here are a few things we have added for more zing.
1. Add 1 Tablespoon horseradish gives it a stronger kick.
2. Add a fresh ground mix of pepper (black, white, green, red + sea salt). This gives the slaw a subtle more complex flavour. You can also add a dash of season salt/garlic salt, but VERY lightly so you don't overpower the flavor.
3. Use 3-4 shredded carrots to balance the cabbage
4. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar (or Splenda) to the mayo mixture.
5. You can either use 1/2 cup buttermilk and no milk or 1/2 milk and no buttermilk if you want. Still turns out great. |

| This was great. I made some up for our employee council golf tournament's luncheon and every one thought I bought it from KFC. |

| RIGHT ON THE MARK! My husband didn't believe me that it was home made until I showed him the recipe... and even then he though it was from KFC! Great flavor and it was easy to make too! |

| The first few times I made this I was accused of buying it at KFC. Now everyone knows and I am always asked to bring it to family outings. This is the best cole slaw ever! |

| This has to be the best clone ever done! And if you don't happen to have buttermilk (real or powdered) you can leave it out and the cole slaw will still taste fantastic. |

| ABSOLUTELY THE BEST! My family loves it. I use the shredding disk on my food processor to shred everything including the carrot. I also add some finely minced chives (use scissors for that). Finally, I use Splenda in place of the sugar and buttermilk powder for the liquid stuff--which always goes bad before it's used. Even my mother-in-law said it's great. Now that's something! |
