Copycat Marzetti Classic Original Slaw Dressing

Boy oh boy did this copycat Marzetti Classic Original slaw dressing ever hit the spot. I was looking for that great Marzetti flavor but in a homemade version that, if I wanted to, I can play with a bit. A little less vinegary perhaps. A little sweeter maybe. Or just like the original. I can make the call. This is good stuff and it makes for a mighty good coleslaw!

Mighty Good

This copycat Marzetti Classic Original slaw dressing is much like the great dressing you can find in your grocer’s refrigerated section (by the packaged salads and refrigerated salad dressings). Creamy with a bit of that vinegar ‘tang’ and a little sweetness. This recipe makes enough for a 14 ounce bag of slaw mix. By ‘makes enough’ I mean the slaw will be nicely dressed but not overly so. If you like a coleslaw with a whole lot of dressing, you’ll either have to make more or grab some at the store!

Delta Coleslaw

This Delta coleslaw is definitely one of my top 10 favorites. It’s got that classic vinegar sauce but with a slight sweetness. And it has plenty of one of my favorite slaw ingredients: celery seed. Lots of fresh crunchy vegetables make this the perfect side dish, but it’s also fantastic on a pulled pork sandwich. I also enjoy it over grilled hot dogs and even Sloppy Joe sandwiches.

Dressed For Success

I recommend only dressing enough of this Delta coleslaw that you plan on serving. You want to keep that crunchiness as long as possible. If you’re making this today, to eat tomorrow, don’t add the dressing until tomorrow morning at the earliest. You can store the unused coleslaw and dressing separately, in the fridge, until it’s go-time. I found this technique also works great for keeping any slaw good and fresh throughout the week, perfect for my lunches!

Arkansas Coleslaw

At first glance, this Arkansas coleslaw may seem like your standard slaw. You know. Cabbage. Carrots. Dressing. But, it’s the addition of apple and celery that really make it different. It’s super crunchy, and I love a crunchy slaw. It holds up for days, making it perfect for a quick lunch side, a picnic, or a family get-together. This is a favorite in our house and for good reason.

Arkansas Coleslaw

Make Your Own Coleslaw Mix. Or Don’t.

I use pre-packaged slaw mix almost every time I make a slaw at home because it’s easy of course. I could get some cabbage, some carrots and whatever else and shred and chop them myself. But I usually have good luck with the bagged stuff so that’s what I use. I used it to make this Arkansas coleslaw, but fresh made can also be used. My only recommendation on the pre-made stuff is to not just blindly dump the contents of the bag into a bowl. Sift through it and make sure there’s not anything ‘wonky’ in it. Like big chunks of cabbage core. Or huge carrot pieces. You do have to watch for that stuff!

I’m a huge fan of celery salt. This recipe has just right amount of that celery greatness. Both from the celery salt and from fresh celery. It’s yummy!

Country Coleslaw

I love a good ole super-crunchy coleslaw. Like grandma would make. Or buy in the grocery store. And it has to be super-cold, too. served right out of the fridge. This country coleslaw is a simple dish that satisfies my slaw needs, but with a twist (for me, at least) and that’s pickle relish. I’ve never had sweet pickle relish (or any relish) in a slaw before. It adds a fantastically different flavor and tang to the slaw. It makes this salad a real winner!

Country Coleslaw

Spice It Up!

This country coleslaw is a little sweet. If you want to liven it up a bit, add a little chopped jalapeno (just seed it first). Grandma might not like that, so you can always serve the jalapeno on the side and let people embellish theirs as they wish.

You can substitute that bagged shredded slaw mix for the cabbage and carrot to save yourself some time. You’ll need a 14-ounce bag to equal the head of cabbage.

Barbecue Shack Coleslaw

If you’d ask me what’s my favorite style of restaurant to eat at I’d say ‘BBQ shack’. Every time. All of the time. And not just because I’m a huge fan of brisket, pulled pork or sausage anything else smoked. It’s also because of the sides dishes. Like this barbecue shack coleslaw. Nothing fancy, but cool and fresh, the perfect side dish for a big ole pulled pork or brisket sandwich. Or, the perfect topping for any sandwich. And its specially good on a grilled sausage or hot dog.

Barbecue Shack Coleslaw

Go Chunky. Or Don’t.

I chopped the ingredients for this barbecue shack coleslaw in my food processor, which can be a dangerous thing. It can turn a head of cabbage into a sawdust. So, I have to be careful with it. I could’ve chopped it too. Either way, this is a wonderful slaw, perfect for any dish.
