KFC-Style Creamy Coleslaw with Tangy-Sweet Dressing

This lightened-up version of KFC's iconic coleslaw delivers all the creamy, sweet-tangy flavor and crisp texture of the original with significantly less sugar and fat. Using Greek yogurt as the base for the dressing dramatically reduces calories while maintaining that signature creamy texture, and a touch of honey replaces most of the processed sugar. The perfect combination of crisp vegetables and zippy dressing creates a refreshing side dish that pairs beautifully with chicken and satisfies that specific KFC coleslaw craving in a much more nutritious way.
