Description
A crisp, creamy, and tangy homemade replica of KFC’s iconic coleslaw. Made with fresh Napa cabbage, Greek yogurt dressing, and a touch of sweetness, this slaw delivers bold flavor without preservatives or artificial additives.
Ingredients
1 head Napa cabbage, cored and shredded
1 medium cucumber, finely diced
1/2 cup red onion, peeled and ringed
1 cup Greek yogurt (fat-free preferred)
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp white vinegar (apple cider vinegar may substitute)
1 tsp mustard (Dijon if available)
1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
Core and shred the Napa cabbage; toss with diced cucumber and red onion in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, sugar, vinegar, mustard, and salt until smooth.
Fold the dressing into the cabbage mixture until evenly coated.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and enhance crunch.
Notes
Use chilled ingredients (0°C/32°F) for optimal texture.
Measure yogurt precisely—1 cup is critical for flavor balance.
Replace sugar with honey for a floral twist.
Double the dressing quantity if serving as a main dip.
Avoid salting cabbage to prevent water release and maintain crunch.
Use Napa or green cabbage for best results, skipping Savoy or other soft varieties.
