KFC Cole Slaw

Here is a recipe for back to school barbecues, end of summer celebrations, and any other excuse you can think of for eating some really great coleslaw.  My husband loves KFC cole slaw.  And if either of us love something at a restaurant, sooner or later I start trying to make it at home.  I have absolutely no idea if this is really even close to the KFC Cole Slaw recipe, but it is pretty darn good.  In fact, my husband and I think it is actually much better than KFC!  I've made it with and without onion.  I definitely prefer onion, but for those who are not onion lovers (like my in-laws) this cole slaw is still really good without.
