I like a bit more kick, so I add 1 T of cream horseradish and a bit less watery, so I skip the buttermilk. 1 packet of Stevia works for the 1/3 c sugar if you want less white sugar in your recipes.
I made it for DINNER tonight. As a result, I thought that KFC’s Copy Cat had a much better taste.
Zingless, but tasty. I added celery seed and let the dressing mixture set over night before adding to the cabbage mix which worked great and added a little zing!
We did less sugar, 1/4 cup, and added a little bit of lemon zest. So good!
No buttermilk! The original Chick-fil-a recipe for coleslaw and carrot raisin salad was released by CFA when they stopped sells. It is easily found online!
I didn’t have the buttermilk but I had all the rest of the ingredients and the slaw came out great.
Very good slaw easy to make. I just bought a bag of slaw mix the only thing different I put a 1/3 c of Splenda Stevia It turned out great
I made this without the buttermilk, or any milk, and it turned out great! I also reduced the sugar to a little under 1/4 cup- nice and tangy! I added celery dead and a good bit of pepper and let it sit for a bit before adding cabbage. Very delicious!
This is a super-simple recipe that tastes just right … but of course I made modifications I decreased the sugar to 1 Tablespoon, used rice vinegar, and increased the pepper to a full teaspoon. I have never had the Chik-fil-A version so I cannot compare, but this is really nice and light, with just the right amount of bite to it.
Absolutely love it. 2nd time making it. Added some onion this time. Best mayo based slaw ever.
This is delicious!! I didn’t have buttermilk but substituted with milk and apple cider vinegar – has a sweet flavor that can be toned down a bit with extra lemon and vinegar if that’s your preference. I did add some poppy seed and caraway as I normally do with any slaw but recipe is fabulous as is.
This was excellent! Just like I had hoped! Everyone at Thanksgiving raved and two people who don’t like cole slaw said it was great. Great compliment! And it was so easy. I couldn’t find buttermilk so I used vinegar mixed with milk. Perfect! Oh, and it tasted just like my mom’s slaw, I was in heaven!
OMG!!!! The best homemade coleslaw ever. Kids and hubby loved it!!
I substituted the mayo with plain fat free Greek yogurt. It was delicious!
This was a very good slaw. Perfect thing to go with my pulled pork BBQ.
Instead of white vinegar, I chose red wine vinegar. Also I added a teaspoon of dill weed. So good!!!!
Amazing! My family asks for this slaw very, very often. Great duplicate! Tastes like KFC slaw to us. A+++
We take it to pot luck events, make it for friends, and us. It is always a hit and the recipe is requested often.
Really tasty! Doubled the carrot. That’s it.
This was okay. I made it according to the recipe with tricolor cabbage with carrots. It seemed bland. I may try it again with angel hair coleslaw. Hubby wasn’t impressed and likely I may end up eating this all by myself – or tossing it. I likely will. E looking for another coleslaw recipe. This is close – but still a ways to go.
I LOVE this slaw. The dressing is perfect as is!
