KFC coleslaw with cabbage and carrot

Salad - KFC coleslaw with cabbage and carrot by Demetra D. - Recipia

For KFC coleslaw with cabbage and carrot, the onion is salted and left in lemon juice before it goes into the creamy dressing. After one to two hours in the fridge, the mayonnaise coleslaw has had time for the flavors to come together, while the vegetables keep a little bite. I slice the cabbage thinly, but don’t chop it until it’s almost grated. Prep: 20 minutes. Cook: 0 minutes. Rest: 1-2 hours. Total time: 1 hour and 20 minutes-2 hours and 20 minutes. Servings: 6. About 310 kcal and 3 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

For the salad

  • 700 g cabbage
  • 2 medium carrots (120 g)
  • 1 medium onion (150 g)
  • 30 ml lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the dressing

  • 200 ml mayonnaise
  • 100 ml sour cream
  • 30 ml apple cider vinegar
  • 12 g sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Preparation

1. Peel the onion and cut it into rings. Toss with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the lemon juice. 2. Peel and grate the carrots, then grate the cabbage. Put the vegetables in a bowl and add the onion. 3. Mix the mayonnaise with the sour cream, apple cider vinegar, and sugar. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper until the dressing is smooth. 4. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and mix well. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for 1-2 hours; the cabbage will stay slightly crisp.

Notes

Keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days; after the first day, the cabbage softens a little and releases some juice. Serve it alongside grilled chicken or in a cold meat sandwich. Choose a cabbage that feels heavy for its size, with tightly packed leaves; a very large one may have tougher leaves that need to be sliced finely. If the carrots are very sweet, you can reduce the sugar to 2 teaspoons. For a different color, use the same amount of red cabbage, sliced more finely; mayonnaise may contain egg, and sour cream contains dairy.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the onion still too sharp?

Put the rings in cold water for 5 minutes, drain them well, then toss them with the salt and lemon juice.

Can I replace the sour cream with yogurt?

Yes, use 100 ml full-fat Greek yogurt. The dressing will be a little thicker than with sour cream.

What should I do if the salad releases a lot of liquid?

Drain the extra liquid through a sieve for 5 minutes, then mix the salad again.

Can I use Savoy cabbage too?

Yes, use 700 g and slice the leaves as finely as possible; the salad will be less crisp than with white cabbage.
