I have a confession to make. Although, I no longer eat at KFC, I have been obsessed with the company's coleslaw. I love the taste of it. So I was bound and determined to re-create the unique combination of creamy, sweet and tangy. I think I came pretty damn close with this recipe.
This is a great make-ahead salad. The longer it sits in the refrigerator the better it tastes.
