OMG coleslaw!

OK, so before going paleo, I LOVED KFC coleslaw. LOVED. My gramma used to tell me stories of younger days, when we would go out for lunch and I would steal their coleslaw after finishing mine. LOVE. Since changing our diet, I have been trying to replicate that taste, with much failure, and I've tried a ton of real food coleslaw recipes that fell flat. I found a semi close recipe involving sugar, but trying to avoid sugar is HUGE for us. So this month, I'm doing another Whole30, and I needed coleslaw for one nights dinner, but again, I wanted the KFC flavor!! Enter an awesome idea. And finally! Flavorful coleslaw!



1/2 c mayo (make your own! Recipe HERE)
1/3 c homemade applesauce (or buy an organic version with no sugar)
1/4 c coconut milk (I use canned mixed with water 1 to 2 ratio for minimal added ingredients)
2 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 1/2 Tbsp white vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/2 head of cabbage, shredded
1 carrot, shredded

Mix it: mayo, applesauce, coconut milk, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and pepper.
Pour over cabbage and carrot.
Stir, and let sit for a couple hours.
ENJOY!

It's not perfect, but its delicious!
