KFC Copycat Cole Slaw

Cole slaw is an important side dish.  When it comes to fried chicken and fish it can make or break the meal.  You want just enough tang and just the right amount of sweetness. 
This  copycat KFC recipe has it all.

  A friend brought this cole slaw to a church pot luck.  When she told me it was a KFC cole slaw,   I told her that  I had a KFC slaw in my cookbook, but it wasn't as good as hers!  So,  of course, I asked her for the recipe.  And here it is. 

   I served this with Amazing BBQ Chicken    sweet potatoes, and homemade applesauce.  A southern meal like ones my grandmother used to make.
