Notes
You can make this creamy coleslaw recipe a day in advance of when you plan to serve it.
Feel free to shred up a head of lettuce and add slivered carrots to replace the coleslaw bag mix.
You can double this recipe if you need to make more to serve a crowd.
You have to allow the mixture to sit and marinade or it will not be full of flavor like you want.
KFC chops their coleslaw, if you want, you can chop or leave it in larger pieces.
I have not tried using a sweetener but if you need you can try to swap out the granulated sugar with an artificial sweetener. Just make sure you measure properly.
You will find that if you try to freeze coleslaw it will be pretty soggy and the liquid sauce can separate a bit. I don't recommend freezing coleslaw.
