KFC-style Cole Slaw
This is the best low-carb cole slaw I've had...
VEGGIES: *7.5 - 8 cups of shredded cabbage & carrots (I use the prepackaged stuff from the produce section) DRESSING: *1/3 cup Splenda *1/2 tsp salt *1/8 tsp white pepper *1/2 cup half and half (or 1/4 cup half & half and 1/4 cup heavy cream) *1/2 cup mayo *1 1/2 tbsp white vinegar *2 1/2 tbsp lemon juice Combine all dressing ingredents in bowl and whisk together until smooth. Add cabbage/carrots and mix well. Refrigerate for minimum of 2 hrs before serving. When made with 1/2 cup of Half & Half, 1 cup servings = approx. 4 net carbs. |
Loved It
I made this last night and it is wonderful. Even my dh loved it. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Beth
|
I thought carrots were higher in carbs... so I always have stayed away from them. Are you sure of the carb content total? Thanks!
|
lazy cooks variation:
Bagged cabbage mix, jalepeno pepper ranch dressing & white vinegar. Let it sit to mix the taste . Tangy & good. Carrot content in the mix is minimal don't sweat it. |
This cole slaw is delicious .. I've been making it all summer and everyone loves it!
|
i finally got to make this. so yummy! sue
|
i did make this again and it is still yummy. going to eat the rest monday for my dinner. i broke the recipe in half to make half of this recipe. really good. sue
|
i forgot to make it with the lemon juice. i need to do that the next time. sue
|
First time Ive ever made coleslaw - turned out WONDERFUL and sooooo easy! Thanks!
|
thanks this sounds great.
|
Does this keep well? I want to make it today for tomorrow night with crockpot ribs. How is it the next day or should it be eaten the same day? Thanks much :help:
|
It will still be good maree
|
the longer it marinates the better it gets. I would use within about 4 days though... enjoy!
|
I made this and it was wonderful. Thanks!
|
Every time I make this for parties I end up having to print the recipe off for at least 2 or 3 people. I think from now on I'll just bring pre-printed recipe cards. :yum:
|
I wanted to bump this up because I cannot tell you how good it is with a grilled brat and stir-fried peppers and onions. So delicious.
I make it fairly regularly and I use 1/2 cup mayo, 1/2 cup cream 1/8 tsp white pepper, dash salt 1.5T distilled white vinegar 9 packets splenda The juice of 2 lemons Pack of coleslaw from the pre-washed salad area I just made some for dinner tonight. All the non-LCers rave about it too. |
better with broccoli slaw
It's even better with broccoli slaw mix in a bag. It stays crisp for a couple of days in the fridge and doesn't get soggy, and I like the taste better too.

Great coleslaw!
I followed the recipe with two exceptions: I used ¼ C of double cream (without the extra half-and-half) and I cut the Splenda to 3 packets. So good! |
This sounds so good. I love that kind of creamy slaw!
|
made this for fathers day weekend. man! it was sooo good. i tore that stuff up. i used heavy cream instead of half/half. i'm on my way back to the store 'cause i want to make some more. i also tried it with fresh shrimp in the mix. :yum: :yum: :yum:

This is the only recipe I've used for years. I always use HWC only and reduce the amount of sweetener. I make huge batches of it when I go away to visit family or camping. That way I know I always have a side dish to go lunch and dinner, or I just eat it on it's own. I need to make a huge batch because everybody else loves it too and wouldn't be too pleased if I kept it all to myself. When camping I just put it into a large good quality ziploc bag and put in the cooler. It saves space by keeping it in a ziploc bag.

An alternative - sugar free slaw
My husband raves over my recipe for this, you might like it too :)
Shredded cabbage (I buy pre-shredded angel hair cut cabbage) celery seed black pepper sugar and salt free Maruchan brand rice wine vinegar mayo I mix the vinegar and mayo first (how much depends on your taste and how much cabbage you are using) - so it smells not too tart (I don't taste while making this), add a good amount of celery seed, the black pepper..mix all together well. Add in cabbage, mix to coat. Refrigerate. Give this at least an hour or two to let the flavors meld. Even better the next day. |
It's The Perfect Summer Salad
Quote:
hey! i used rice vingar too. it was the only thing i had in the house. so that's what i used. i have already been through another large bowl of this and i added a lot of fresh shrimp to it too to make it more of a meal. well, now i have one last package of cabbage and i'm trying to hold off a few days before making it since i've been eating it like crazy, plus this time i want to add some fresh slices of jicama which i don't currently have so gotta go shoppping. my next version will have fresh sliced jicama and shrimp. dang...and all this time i didn't even think i liked coleslaw. :lol: :yum: :lol: it's the perfect summer salad. :sunny: |
I've always liked this recipe but never thought of adding shrimp & jicama.
Thanks for the great idea. Adding that to today's shopping list. Yum, perfect for a light dinner. It's too hot to cook! |
i've been eating this coleslaw with shrimp & jimica all summer like crazy. i just love it and it's such a great go to meal when i'm in a rush and there's a big chilled bowl just waiting in the frige.

But I do make cole slaw that has no sweeteners at all in it, and everyone loves it who has tried it. Time to make it again! |
Splenda alternative?
Quote:
Would love to try this recipe but cannot use Splenda. Would no calorie Truvia work as well? |
Quote:
Yes, it should work just fine :thup:. However, I would adjust the amount of sweetener "to taste" ... you might find you need less truvia than the amount of splenda called for. By the way, I have made similar recipe using sour cream instead of half & half (reduce vinegar & lemon juice to 1 Tbsp each), with very good result :idea: |
Quote:
Oh yum! I'll try it both ways! Thx, doreen! |
Making this with sour cream will be brilliant! I don't like mayo anymore, so a little sour cream sounds just right!
This should be called 'Goldilocks Coleslaw' because it's so adaptable to anyone's taste. |
