Healthier Than Kfc's Cole Slaw
"This is a much healthier version than the KFC clone by Todd Wilbur, and still TASTES GREAT! I changed ingredients to make it more approachable on a low cal, low carb or diabetic diet. It's perfect for me! I thought I had posted this before but had not, so I am really happy I saved it! I don't want to lose this recipe!!! Cook time is time to chill, so prep is really quick. Make it early in the day and it will be ready for afternoon picnics and barbecues."

This cannot be healthier if you are using Splenda--almost the same as aspertame, which is a deadly non-food chemical. <br/><br/>As for the "fat-free" mayonnaise--the fat comes from the egg (which is still the perfect food) and the oil. There is nothing as unhealthy as the new "fat-free" foods. They have deadly additives in them and just for the record, you MUST have fat for your body to function properly. Just like your car, if it is not "lubricated", your organs, brain and arteries will dry up.<br/><br/>Eat the fat and especially stay away from "fat-free" products. They are much more deadly than fat. -
Yum! I used regular sugar and scaled the recipe down.I used soy milk with lemon juice instead of buttermilk. I also made my own coleslaw mix using green cabbage, celery, carrots and radishes. Much enjoyed! Made for Sun and Spice event. -
I scaled back for 4 serves and 3 of us polished off the lot with our dinner. I used natVia instead of Splenda and only used 2 teaspoons and found it to be sweet enough for us, I did use a real egg mayonnaise as I don't use fat free as I find that upsets my blood sugars more than full fat does and I skipped step 1 as we like our coleslaw chunky and as said we all thoroughly enjoyed, thank you Sue Lau, made for Everyday A Holiday tag game. -
This was OK for us. I made as directed. This was a bit sweet and hubby didn't like the celery seed in it. -
I took this to my in-law's Memorial Day cookout and it was a big hit with the crowd. I didn't chop up the coleslaw mix because I wanted it to have a little more crunch to it. The flavors melded really well together. I made it the day before and let it sit in the fridge overnight. Made for Diabetic Cooking Tag Game.

Outstanding cole slaw recipe, and good for you too! I made this on the fly, because I had leftover slaw mix and low-fat buttermilk and I needed a veggie side dish for dinner. I didn't have any parsley flakes, so I left that out. The mayo I used was a vegan low-fat substitute, and instead of the lemon juice I used what lime juice I had left and some white vinegar. I only let it sit a couple of hours before eating it for dinner, and I ate some of the leftovers for breakfast the next morning. Thanks Sue! -
I used broccoli slaw mix and fat free sour cream instead of buttermilk. This is very good and works out to 1 ww point per serving.

Good slaw. I made a few adjustments...felt this version was a bit too sweet. I halved the splenda, added a couple teaspoons of apple cidar vinegar and used 1/2 cup low fat sour cream instead of the buttermilk (it's what I had in the fridge)...it did the trick for me. Thanks for sharing this recipe! My husband just loved the slaw!
