Chick-fil-A Coleslaw is a creamy, slightly sweet coleslaw made with crunchy cabbage and carrots tossed in a simple homemade dressing. This copycat recipe recreates the discontinued Chick-fil-A side dish with just a handful of ingredients.
I enjoy recreating restaurant favorites at home, especially ones you can’t order anymore. This creamy coleslaw is easy to make ahead and tastes even better after it chills for an hour.
