When I weighed nearly 300 lbs, I thought KFC’s coleslaw was a healthy choice. Now I realize 1 cup has 17 grams of fat, including some trans fat. It also has 26 grams of sugar, that’s 6.5 teaspoons of sugar per cup! Yikes!
You can make your own coleslaw and still keep it sweet, crunchy and delicious. The apples in this slaw help provide that sweetness and crunch that satisfies. So delish!

This salad looks delicious! I agree, no matter how fast food chain like KFC promotes healthy food and including salad, still not that healthy coz of the other ingredients they used (to cut the costs, of course).
