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!

Thai Sweet Chili Salad Dressing

Every few weeks or so, we have salads every night of the week. Oddly, it’s known as ‘salad week’! But truthfully, it is a nice fresh change. And it doesn’t mean that it’s a week of sadness. I mix it up by using a large variety of ingredients. And I always make at least one homemade salad dressing. Like this wonderful Thai sweet chili dressing. This dressing is a wonderful combination of tropical flavors, a little heat and a lot of Asian inspiration. This is the kind of dressing that makes me look forward to salad week!

Thai Sweet Chili Salad Dressing

A Lot Of Greatness

Your salad doesn’t have to be Asian in nature to enjoy this Thai sweet chili dressing. It’s great no matter what you toss onto the plate.

I’m a huge fan of coconut milk and I was happy to see that this recipe has plenty of it. And fish sauce. Now, fish sauce is one strong smelling, funky sauce. But don’t fear it. It really makes this dressing amazing. If you’re not sure about it, add a little, taste, and add more if you want. I use an expensive, quality fish sauce. I learned early on that you get what you pay for, especially when it comes to fish sauce.

Penn Station Ham And Swiss Sub In A Tub

I’m not that fancy or complicated. And usually, neither are my lunches. That’s not to say that I don’t enjoy them, though. I coulda gotten dressed (I work from home) and grabbed a sub for lunch. Or have it delivered I guess. But I wasn’t in the mood and I’m cheap. So I made a Penn Station Ham and Swiss sub in a tub instead! And boy was it a mighty delicious salad! Fresh ingredients, ready in no time. And heck, I even felt better after eating it!

The No Bread Zone.

Everything is here on my Penn Station Ham And Swiss sub in a tub that can be found on the store-made sandwich. And even more, sometimes. I can make this my way. I chop the lettuce and tomatoes the day before. On the day of lunch I just cut up some meat and cheese, add a little salt and pepper and I’m ready! Oh yeah! Dressing! For the dressing I just grab whatever suits my fancy! This isn’t complicated. Just a nice lunch. Oh and I can add bread if I want to…. as croutons!

Tangy French Salad Dressing

My wife and I both made the ‘wow’ face when we first tried this tangy French salad dressing. This is our kind of good stuff. Nice and creamy. Fantastic flavor with a hint of vinegar and a little sweetness. The perfect balance. This dressing made our good salads great!

Tangy French Salad Dressing

A Lot Of Dressing

This recipe for a tangy French salad dressing makes quite a few servings. Don’t let that scare you. You don’t have to use it just for salads. We didn’t. It’s great just for dunking vegetables. Carrot sticks, cherry tomatoes, radishes… all of them are better after spending a little time in this dressing. But the real winner? Using the dressing on a sandwich. Skip your usual mayo or whatever you use and try this instead. It’s fantastic on sandwiches!

Roquefort Salad Dressing

Welcome to blue cheese heaven. Breath in that pungent aroma. Taste that funkiness. Creamy smooth, this Roquefort salad dressing is like an avalanche of blue cheese flavor in every bite. Crazy good on a salad. Crazy good for dipping vegetables. Oh and you bet it’s good for wings. Like really really good. Good thing this recipe makes a batch, because you’ll want more.

To Roquefort Or Not To Roquefort

You may not be able to find Roquefort cheese where you are. Don’t let that stop you from making Roquefort salad dressing. You can use any blue cheese you want, really. Ok, so you won’t be able to call it Roquefort salad dressing any more. That’s not anything to lose sleep over. This is a great dressing no matter what. Yeah, it’s better with the real thing but it’s still fantastic with any blue cheese.

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.
