Coleslaw | KFC style
June 28, 2018
Well, it's summertime. It's time to entertain outside with your friends and family and you'd like to have a little something that can be considered a little bit healthier; as you eat all those hot dogs and hamburgers. Try some coleslaw. Make your own, you'll find it much more enjoyable than buying the packaged kind.
Coleslaw is nothing but some beautiful, colorful vegetables. Vegetables like cabbage which is also a very good source of manganese, dietary fiber, potassium, vitamin B1, folate, and copper. Additionally, cabbage is a good source of choline, phosphorus, vitamin B2, magnesium, calcium, selenium, iron, pantothenic acid, protein, and niacin.
​
It also contains carrots. Carrots are a good source of several vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin A (from beta-carotene), biotin, vitamin K (phylloquinone), potassium and vitamin B6. Vitamin A: Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body.
​
Yes, there is a little sugar in your coleslaw, but you can control the amount you add. It is too easy to make
Use a food processor or knife and chop up a small head of white cabbage and 1/2 head of red cabbage. Also finely grate a small onion and chop up a small bag of carrots. Set aside to work on the dressing.
Mix mayonnaise, buttermilk or sour cream, lemon juice, vinegar, onion powder, celery seeds, sugar salt, and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Mix well then pour over the vegetables. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours but it is better if you wait until the next day. ENJOY!!
