KFC Coleslaw Hot dog

I don't know why, but I can't stop eating grilled hot dogs covered in KFC coleslaw. Not the store-bought slaw, but a copy-cat version.

It doesn't look too terribly exciting, but there's something about the contrast between the hot-off-the-grill hot dog (I used an Angus beef dog) and the cold, crispy slaw. Great on a hot day like today!

To make the slaw:

• 8 cups finely diced cabbage, about 1 head
• 1/4 cup carrot, diced
• 2 tablespoons minced onion
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar (I used Splenda)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 cup mayo
• 1/4 cup buttermilk (use the remaining buttermilk to make onion rings)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
• 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice.

1. Mix the cabbage, carrots, and onion in a large bowl.
2. Place remaining ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth.
3. Pour mixture into bowl and mix well.
4. Cover and refrigerate several hours or better, overnight.
