I really like cole slaw; but I’ve never perfected a home-made version. I like the one at Popeye’s ;-)

I'm not a cole slaw fanatic, but this is a really good recipe:

2 bags Confetti Cabbage (shredded green and red cabbage, carrots), 10 oz. each
1 bunch green onions, washed and trimmed
3 stalks celery, washed and trimmed
¾ cup mayo
½ cup sugar
3 tbsp. salad oil
3 tbsp. apple cider vinegar

Day before serving:

Finely chop Confetti Cabbage, celery and green onions (I used a vegetable chopper, worked fine) and place in large bowl. Mix mayo, sugar, oil and vinegar in a separate bowl and pour over cabbage mix; stir well, refrigerate overnight, stirring once or twice before serving. Flavor improves overnight.

Shreaded cabbage.

Equal parts mayo and vinegar.

Carraway seeds to taste. Oh, and a full tablespoon of sugar.

That's for 1/2 head of cabbage.

You'll never try another recipe.

Cole slaw.... Love it too. Here is my version. Definitely not like popeye’s.

1/4 a cabbage and then run 1/4 through your food processor with the slicing blade. Throw on the shredding blade and run through 2 carrots. Cover with ice cold water and let it sit while you do the rest.

1 egg Yolk in a container which allows your stick blender to reach the bottom with little clearance on the sides. 1/2 cup of nuetral veg oil (Or olive if this is for a Mediterranean meal) teaspoon of mustard powder, some paprika, and here comes the secret... between a teaspoon and a tablespoon of Asian smoked sesame oil (To taste). Also add about the volume of the yolk of the acid of your choice like vinegar or lemon juice. Put the stick blender to the bottom of the container and pulse 3 or 4 times. Let it rip. Less than two minutes later you have home made mayo with incredible flavor.

Add raisins and cashew pieces salt and fresh ground pepper after draining the slaw. Combine with mayo and chill for a few hours.

I swear that my slaw has virtually brought people to tears.

I love KFC’s cole slaw and this is a perfect copy. I find that the onions tend to strengthen with time, so I tend to leave them out. I use my blender and it is a snap to make.

KFC Cole Slaw Restaurant Recipe

Ingredients

8 cups finely chopped Cabbage (about 1 head)
1/4 cup shredded Carrot (1 medium carrot)
2 tablespoons minced Onion
1/3 cup granulated Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon Pepper
1/4 cup Milk
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
1/4 cup Buttermilk
1 1/2 tablespoons White Vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
Directions

Be sure cabbage and carrots are chopped up into very fine pieces (about the size of rice).
Combine the sugar, salt, pepper, milk, mayonnaise, buttermilk, vinegar, and lemon juice in a large bowl and beat until smooth.
Add the cabbage, carrots, and onion, and mix well.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
