Coleslaw Made Right

I like coleslaw but I am pretty picky about what kinds I like. My favorite kind of coleslaw is like what KFC has. Its sweet and crunchy, but not overly vinegary. This is coleslaw made right!

I found this recipe on AllRecipes.com that I adapted to achieve the kind of slaw that I wanted. I dont ever have buttermilk on hand nor do I want to buy it just for one recipe. And you can achieve the same thing by mixing milk with lemon juice.

You guys, if you dont already have one you really should look into getting one of these small measuring cups. They are super handy when you are working with liquids and Tbsp or tsp. This makes it easy to do the 2 1/2 tsp or 1 1/2 Tbsp that recipes call for.
