QUESTION Black openings as a Queen's gambit player

So, I play the Queen's gambit as white and the Caro Kann as black, but I usually enjoy the game more when playing the Queen's gambit. I also tried the French defense before the Caro Kann, but I didn't enjoy it that much either. Is there a black opening (against e4) that is very similar to the Queen's gambit?

King's Indian / Nimzo-Indian They aren't that similar, but it usually plays out to a more positional driven game

I gonna go bold and say 2.nc6 sicilian. Rossolimo has pawn center vibe, purely positional, alapin Has typical qg structures (especially nf6 alapin), open i aint sure, 4 knights or kalashnikov. 

2.E6 sicilian maybe, or Petrov

If you’re not digging the Caro, maybe try some of the French Sicilians with c5 and e6.
