I remember the first time I ate coleslaw. It was years and years ago, at KFC and I just couldn’t stop eating it. Whether it was the combination of eating it with the hot spicy chicken, or just the coleslaw itself, I’ll never know. All I can remember is eating a lot of it and then trying to perfect the recipe at home.
Of course we started off with the Mayonnaise version, but I kept moaning about the calories. So I slowly cut down some of the mayo and replaced with yoghurt, till we had the perfect taste.
Now, over the years I have my own version of coleslaw. As we eat a lot of baked fish/ chicken, I ind an excuse to dish this up quite often.
I love it, I’m sure you will too.
