I have to admit another food I have missed since becoming a vegetarian. I grew up having KFC occasionally, and I always LOVED their coleslaw. But I have to tell you, there really isn't a reason to go to KFC as a vegetarian. Because of that, I haven't had it for years. I have tried a variety of coleslaws and this one is the closest I have found to the taste I adored. I know, it is a mayo-based version, so it isn't the healthiest. But you know what? Sometimes you just want the real thing. This is the perfect side dish for a family picnic, BBQ, or just about anything. :)
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
1/4 C parsley, chopped
1/2 large cabbage head
1/2 C mayonnaise
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
1 Tbsp white vinegar
Directions
- Place the bell pepper, green onion, carrot, and parsley in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped being careful not to over process. Cut half the cabbage into chunks and add to the processor. Pulse a few times, again being careful not to over process.
- Slice the remaining cabbage thinly and place in a large bowl. Add the processed vegetables and mix together. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients and allow to stand for 3-5 minutes.
- Combine the dressing with the vegetables and toss to evenly coat. Allow to chill for at least 1 hour.
