Chillin' Coleslaw

I have searched long and hard for a good coleslaw recipe.  My family has endured lots of failures in this effort, so I was so excited to finally make one that not only did they LOVE it, but ate every bit of it.  It reminds me a little of the coleslaw at KFC.  I named it Chillin' Coleslaw because  I believe the secret is letting it chill in the fridge for awhile.   Chillin' Coleslaw 8 cups shredded cabbage (or diced) 1/4 cup shredded carrot (or if you are lazy like me 2 bags of coleslaw mix from the grocery store.) 2 Tablespoons minced onions 1/3 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper 1/2 cup milk + 2 teaspoons lemon juice 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1 1/2 Tablespoons white vinegar 2 Tablespoons lemon juice Mix your 1/2 cup milk with the 2 teaspoons lemon juice and let sit forabout 5 minutes.  Pour your shredded cabbage, carrot and onions in a bowl and toss to mix together. Mix sugar, salt, pepper, milk/lemon mixture, mayonaise, vinegar and lemon juice together
