wanted that favorite recipe and not been able to locate it? I save all my
family recipes on a CD so that they are easily accessible. Here are a few

This is a copycat recipe from http://www.copykat.com/
Everybody likes KFC's Cole
Slaw!
Better Than KFC Cole Slaw
Ingredients:
1-2 heads of Cabbage
1- Green 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
|
Preparation:
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. |
