## 👩🍳 Instructions
1. **Chop the veggies:** Finely chop the cabbage and carrots. You want a texture that’s almost minced – this is key to getting that KFC texture. A food processor works great.
2. **Make the dressing:** In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, milk, buttermilk, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
3. **Mix it up:** Add the chopped cabbage, carrots, and onion into the bowl with the dressing. Stir everything together until well coated.
4. **Chill:** Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best). This helps the flavors develop and gives it that classic creamy consistency.
