Prepare the Vegetables:
Begin by chopping the cabbage into very fine pieces, roughly the size of rice kernels. Using the shredder and grater attachment on your food processor makes this task quick and easy. Repeat the process with the carrot and onion, ensuring all vegetables are finely shredded. -
Mix the Vegetables:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrot, and onion. Toss them together to distribute evenly. -
Make the Dressing:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Splenda sugar substitute, salt, pepper, milk, mayonnaise, buttermilk, white vinegar, and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and well combined. -
Combine and Chill:
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss until everything is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least two hours to allow the flavors to meld together and the coleslaw to chill. -
Serve and Enjoy:
After chilling, give the coleslaw a good mix and serve it as a delicious side dish with your favorite low-carb main courses.
This Low Carb KFC Coleslaw is not only quick and easy to prepare but also fits perfectly into a low-carb lifestyle, offering a tasty, crunchy, and satisfying side that complements a variety of dishes. Enjoy!
