Buttermilk Coleslaw Recipe
I grew up eating KFC buckets of chicken along with the side dishes of mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, and of course, coleslaw. Was it me or did they seem never to give you enough sides with all the chicken? Well, I fixed that problem by making my own copycat KFC buttermilk coleslaw. Now, I can make as much as I want. Glorious days are here again!!
This coleslaw is a great family favorite on this homestead and requested for most family functions. It is easy to make ahead of time and set in the fridge overnight if need be.

Cost to make this recipe.
To make this recipe, I calculated the price to be roughly $1.27 or $0.16 per serving size. Purchasing KFC coleslaw prices range from small order at $2.29 to a large order at $3.89. Already the price difference making it at home a more reasonable and affordable alternative.
Now, as homesteaders, my price can go down even further. We grow
