We love going to Kentucky Fried Chicken. Although we enjoy the chicken, we actually go for the coleslaw. We buy several pints at a time. I make several versions of cole slaw but we sometime just want this. I tried for several years before getting this recipe right. I think I have figured it out now.If you are in a hurry get a bag of the preshredded slaw mix. It is not quite as good as grating it yourself though. -Donna Gribbins, Shelbyville, Kentucky

Tips:

  • For a classic coleslaw, use a combination of green and red cabbage. For a more colorful slaw, add shredded carrots, bell peppers, or radishes.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and other vegetables. This will help them absorb the dressing better.
  • To make a creamy coleslaw, use a mayonnaise-based dressing. For a lighter slaw, use a vinegar-based dressing.
  • Add some herbs or spices to the dressing for extra flavor. Some popular options include dill, celery seeds, and caraway seeds.
  • Let the coleslaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.

Conclusion:

Ruby coleslaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It's a great way to add some crunch and freshness to your plate. Whether you like it classic or with a twist, there's a ruby coleslaw recipe out there for everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give ruby coleslaw a try.
