The addition of kale to this slaw adds a great crunch and lots of antioxidants, with a homemade cole slaw dressing that makes it taste just like KFC's!
Use with any bagged slaw mix or try it on our Kale SlawÂ
This recipe was born from one of those "use whatever is in the fridge" instances.  I was making my amazing Slow Cooker Pork ( a fav for summer) and needed a cole slaw recipe. KFC cole slaw has always been our favorite so we set out to make it taste like that. See, we like to pile the pork on top of cole slaw inside of a soft tortilla wrap.  It is kind of like a Memphis City BBQ meets Mexico.
I knew I had all the basic ingredients, it was actually the veggies that I didn't think I had enough of. Â I had a little cabbage and a few carrots. Â This was not going to be enough to make a batch to feed everyone. Â So, I went out to the garden and picked a zucchini. Â Then I remembered I had a bad of beautiful kale. Â Perfect. Â I absolutely love the flavor of raw kale so I knew this would work and taste amazing.
I have made this multiple times and everyone loves it. Â This kale slaw and the cole slaw dressing recipe works great together and has been a huge hit at potlucks & BBQs!
Both recipes are typed out separately below in case you only want the cole slaw dressing recipe. Â I have also added the full recipe for kale slaw and the dressing to the printable form for your convenience.
ENJOY!
