Copycat KFC Coleslaw Recipe: A Classic Side Dish Made at Home

1. Prep the Vegetables
Finely chop the cabbage into thin ribbons using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer. Grate the carrot using a box grater or food processor for even consistency. Mince the onion and set all ingredients aside.
Pro Tip: For extra crispness, rinse the cabbage and carrots under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels before mixing.
2. Make the Dressing
