Spicy Firecracker Coleslaw

I am a huge fish-and-chips fan. So when we recently ate at the Aquarium Restaurant in the Opry Mills shopping center in Nashville, Tennessee, that’s what I ordered. And of course I had it with slaw on the side. But not any ordinary slaw. This one had some kick. A spicy kick. And the dressing was different. Deeper. Tastier. After a few tastes it occurred to me that it was a balsamic vinaigrette. “Perfect!” I thought. And as soon as we got home, I made an almost-copycat just-as-great spicy firecracker slaw! Same great kick, same great vinaigrette!

Spicy Firecracker Coleslaw

A Slaw With A Spicy Kick

My version of spicy firecracker slaw is very close to the one we had at the Aquarium Restaurant. I think theirs was made with a white balsamic vinegar, which I didn’t have. I had to substitute dark, which of course made my slaw darker. I also added a spicy mustard, which I’m not sure the original contained. I think so, so I added it. Either way, theirs is great. And mine is great. So no one is wrong!

Creamy Dill Broccoli Coleslaw

I can’t say I have thought much about using broccoli in a slaw. What, no cabbage? But you know, this creamy dill broccoli coleslaw opened my eyes (and taste buds!) to a totally new way of making slaw. Loaded with dill and with a slight hint of lime, this slaw screams ‘summer’, though you can make it any time of the year.

Creamy Dill Broccoli Coleslaw

Crunchy. And Then Some.

You can substitute ‘normal’ shredded cabbage for the broccoli if you wish. Broccoli slaw tends to stay crunchier longer than cabbage. Cabbage (in a dressing) likes to get soggy in time. If you do decide to make this creamy dill broccoli coleslaw with cabbage instead, sauce only the amount of slaw you plan on serving. That way the leftovers won’t get drenched in sauce and become soggy.

Copycat Hard Rock Cafe Coleslaw

The last Hard Rock Cafe we visited, in the Mall of America, is long gone. That is too bad since we loved the cool music-themed items. And the food. But hey, at least we can make a copycat Hard Rock Cafe coleslaw at home now. This is a big favorite in our house. It’s easy to make. Like crazy easy. And delicious. Creamy. A little sweet. Crunchy. It’s my kind of coleslaw.

Copycat Hard Rock Cafe Coleslaw

Good Things Take Time

As easy as this copycat Hard Rock Cafe coleslaw is to make, it cannot be rushed. It needs some quality time in the fridge for the flavors to get perfect. And they will. Sure, you can give it a taste or two moments after making it, and you’ll like it. But to love it, give it that overnight ‘soak’. Or more. Up to two days for maximum coleslaw love. It’s worth it.

Hard Eight BBQ Coleslaw

There are a lot of Texas BBQ joints on my bucket list. Hard Eight BBQ is one of them. I’d get there the minute they opened and stay until they closed that day. And it’d be one of the best days of my life. And guess what? I’d even eat their coleslaw while I’m there. Besides, man doesn’t live on brisket and smoked sauce alone, does he?

Hard Eight Coleslaw

Oh, The Dressing!

This Hard Eight coleslaw is vinegar-based. Not that creamy stuff you might be used to. And it’s a bit sweet, too. And as much as it’s great on the side, let me tell you, it’s amazing on anything grilled. I grilled up some chicken thighs, slapped them on some buns, and pilled on the slaw. And nothing else. The slaw was fantastic. I didn’t need anything else. The crunchy, the heat… just perfect. Next time you’re making a sandwich, burger or whatever, and you’re thinking you need maybe a little lettuce on it, stop. Make this slaw and use it instead. You’ll be more than happy you did. It’s about flavor and this coleslaw brings it.

Carolina Coleslaw

This is my kind of coleslaw. The kind that makes me happy. A little sweetness. A little of that ‘pucker up’ vinegar hit. And my favorite, celery seed. Celery seed adds so much to a slaw or whatever you use it in. Carolina coleslaw is crunchy great. It holds up too, making it perfect for taking to a pitch-in or picnic. No worries about serving soggy slaw.

Carolina Coleslaw

Great By Itself, Great On Hot Dogs

Of course you can serve this Carolina coleslaw on the side of whatever you’re having. But don’t hesitate to go a little further. If you’re having hot dogs, heap this coleslaw on top of them. You don’t need any mustard. The slaw adds everything you need. Ditto if you’re having pulled pork sandwiches. The slaw adds a great contrasting crunch to that tender BBQ.

If you want a spicier version, seed a jalapeno, chop it, and add it to the coleslaw mix before incorporating the dressing.

Tangy Coleslaw

This tangy coleslaw screams ‘fresh’. It’s full of all sorts of great fresh things. Corn. Bell pepper. Onion. Cabbage. The dressing is a slightly sweet, tangy mix that really accentuates the freshness in every bite. Best made with fresh corn, this slaw can be made with canned or frozen, too.

Tangy Coleslaw

Coleslaw with a Kick

This tangy coleslaw does contain a little bit of jalapeno. Not that much that you’ll find it hot. But, if that scares you, you can leave it out or substitute a poblano pepper instead. I found that the sweetness in the dressing tamed the jalapeno to the point where I didn’t find it to be spicy, just enjoyable/

If you decide to use canned corn, just drain well. For frozen, just thaw. You can roast them by spreading the kernels out onto a sheet pan and placing under the broiler, stirring often, until lightly charred.

Diner-Style Coleslaw

I do love a cold, creamy coleslaw. Nothing fancy. And maybe a little vinegary kick. But not much. This diner-style coleslaw is my kind of slaw. Perfect on a hot day, for lunch or dinner. Perfect on a cool day too. And crazy easy to make. This slaw reminds me of the ones you’d find in the glass cases in the diners of old. The ones with the sliding doors. Made early that morning, wrapped in plastic wrap, and chilled to perfection!

Diner-Style Coleslaw

Nice And Creamy

I use Blue Plate mayonnaise in all of my slaws. For me, it’s the best-tasting, creamiest mayonnaise around. You can use your favorite. Even though this diner-style coleslaw isn’t complicated, better ingredients make for a better slaw.

I didn’t have white balsamic vinegar on hand. I knew I didn’t want to use regular ole balsamic vinegar. Though it’d add the same flavor, it’d discolor the slaw. That wouldn’t be good. I used apple cider vinegar instead and the slaw come out fantastic. Problem solved!

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.

Delta Coleslaw

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!

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. And 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.

Charleston-Style Coleslaw

I have never ever put anything citrusy into my coleslaw. Never even thought about it actually. My slaws are usually creamy, and often sweet. Citrus in a slaw really changes how it tastes. It gives it a lighter feel. Brighter. The addition of a sweet onion also makes this Charleston-style coleslaw different than your traditional version. I liked the crunch of the onion and the crispness of the cabbage and carrots in the slaw. This was different, and delicious!

It Doesn’t Have To Be Sweet

Add a few minced jalapenos for a little extra kick in your Charleston-style coleslaw. Or for a sweeter variation, add a small can of (drained) pineapple chunks. Me, I rather liked the way it was. A lot. But pineapple would definitely make it pop even more. And the jalapeno? Not all slaws need to be tame. Just remember that if you’re making it for a crowd not everyone might appreciate your efforts and you might have to save the jalapeno for yourself. For later.
