Country coleslaw is a creamy side dish made with cabbage, carrots, and onion in a sweet and tangy buttermilk sauce. It’s the perfect accompaniment for fried chicken or bbq sandwiches.
I love the coleslaw at KFC and this recipe is really close to theirs and maybe even just a tad bit better. I love cabbage and this is a delicious way to eat it.
Ingredients Needed:
- mayonnaise
- whole milk
- buttermilk
- lemon juice
- vinegar, white or apple cider both work
- salt
- black pepper
- cabbage
- carrot
- onion
How to Make Country Coleslaw:
- In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, milk, buttermilk, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and pepper.
- Chop the cabbage and onion and grate the carrot and add it all to the sauce and mix it well.
- For the best flavor, cover and refrigerate for a couple hours before serving.
This is a recipe that I make a lot especially in the summer when we grill out a lot. It goes with pretty much any grilled meal. Sometimes I’ll pull out my hand crank veggie grater to chop the veggies but it’s just as good all chopped and diced with a knife.
Y’all enjoy!

Country Coleslaw
Country coleslaw is a creamy side dish made with cabbage, carrots, and onion in a sweet and tangy buttermilk sauce. It’s the perfect accompaniment for fried chicken or bbq sandwiches.
Ingredients
Method
- Combine the mayonnaise, sugar, milk, buttermilk, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- Add the cabbage, carrots, and onion and stir to combine.
- You can serve it right away but I highly recommend covering and refrigerating for at least two hours before serving. The rest time gives the ingredients time to marinate and increases the flavor.
Notes
You can substitute the cabbage and carrots for two 16 oz bags tricolor coleslaw mix if desired.
