Great, fast & easy! I did use the packaged shredded slaw mix to save time. This is the REAL THING!

I don't even like KFC coleslaw anymore, since it is not the same, and hasn't been good for a while now. Me and my dear hubby loved this! Mr. DH gives this his seal of approval, he's a tough cookie to please. i love the flavors of the coriander and the pineapple juice.

I am reviewing this recipe on behalf of my friend who is not a member of Food.com. Kentucky Fried Chicken's coleslaw is the ONLY coleslaw that she and her husband will eat. Upon finding this out, I emailed a link of your KFC Coleslaw (Copycat) recipe to her. She was thrilled to have the recipe for her favorite coleslaw, made it for the Fourth of July, and absolutely loved its delicious flavor. I would make this recipe, but my mom is partial to her mom's (my grandma's) recipe for Dolly Parton Coleslaw. Thank you, Spice Guru, for making my friend's Independence Day a little brighter!
