“I love KFC coleslaw but this is so much better! I can see adding onion, celery, mustard, but I like my slaw a bit sweet and low on the vinegar side. So, I don’t add all the sugar called for, I mix the base ingredients, milk, mayo, vinegar and lemon then i add ” — a cook, 5.0★
“Just made this. YUMMY! I omitted the buttermilk (because I didn't t have any) and reduced the milk to half. I also added a half teaspoon of celery seeds and added a stalk of celery and half an onion. Just because I like that stuff! Thanks for sharing!” — a cook, 5.0★
