My friend who shared this coleslaw recipe said it was a copycat KFC recipe; I think it’s even better! It’s crunchy, creamy, a little tangy and packed with flavor!

When my friend gave me this recipe she said it was a KFC Coleslaw copycat recipe, I think it's even better!  Little Dairy on the Prairie

I love coleslaw, but I can’t help but wonder where the word slaw came from. It sounds like some barbaric and unappetizing object. Okay, I just had to say that. Slaw is a weird word. It doesn’t matter how weird the name is; I still love the stuff!

The other day I smoked a pork shoulder on my smoker and let me tell you, it was to die for! Smoked pork and coleslaw are kind of like peanut butter and jelly to me.  You can’t have one without the other. It’s the spicy and smoky pork paired with crunchy, yet creamy coleslaw!

I love all the colorful veggies in coleslaw!

Coleslaw is a snap to throw together. I sliced a head of cabbage super thin, grated a carrot, and sliced some green scallions. Sometimes I leave out the scallions and add some grated onion instead, which I actually like better.

Make ahead coleslaw dressing!

I usually mix all my dressing ingredients in my blender. Sometimes I blend my onion in the blender with the rest of the ingredients. If you want to assemble the coleslaw later you can store the dressing in the fridge at this point. I love doing this because then I can quickly make as little, or as much coleslaw as I want.

The creamy, flavor packed dressing on this coleslaw is the BEST! I get asked for the recipe all the time!  Little Dairy on the Prairie

When you are ready, mix the veggies with the dressing. Give it a toss to coat everything. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours. That’s it!

I couldn’t stop eating the pork or the coleslaw. Picnic and barbecue season are right around the corner and coleslaw is one of my favorite things to bring. Make lots because it’s always a favorite is one of the bowls to be empty!

    Looks yummy. I agree, cold slaw and pork go together. Glad the smoked roast turned out so good. I’m glad BBQ season is just around the corner.
