What you'll need

Instructions

  1. Finely chop the cabbage into small, confetti-sized pieces — the fine chop is the signature KFC texture — and combine with the grated carrot and grated onion in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a small secondary bowl, whisk together the avocado oil mayonnaise, raw honey, apple cider vinegar, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Pour the dressing over the prepared vegetable mixture.
  4. Toss everything thoroughly with a large spoon until every piece is evenly coated.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best) so the flavors meld and the slaw softens into its classic creamy texture.
  6. Stir once more and serve chilled.
