Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh squeezed
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 pounds green cabbage
2 medium carrots
3 tablespoons grated sweet onion

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, sugar, milk, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined.
1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup buttermilk, 6 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Large dice the cabbage, place it into a food processor, and pulse until it is finely chopped; you will need to do this in batches.
1 1/2 pounds green cabbage
Add to the bowl with the dressing.
Peel the carrots and slice them, add to the food processor, and finely chop.
2 medium carrots
Place in the bowl with the cabbage along with the grated onion.
3 tablespoons grated sweet onion
Stir well to combine everything, cover and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving or best overnight.

Notes

Use that food processor to get the green cabbage tiny—it’s the KFC way!
Whisk the large mixing bowl dressing until it’s silky and lump-free!
Give it a mix every hour while it chills.
Squeeze that lemon juice fresh for the brightest taste.
Use a fine grater to grate the onion- no chunky bits!
