What the AI looks for in Cole Slaw Salad Dressings
- Creamy vs vinegar style
- Bottled slaw dressings are almost all creamy and sweet; for Carolina-style vinegar slaw, a vinaigrette works better. Regional slaw styles call for different dressings.
- Sweetness
- Compare added sugar per serving; slaw dressings are typically among the sweetest in the category. Some brands taste noticeably sugary on cabbage.
- Make-ahead behavior
- Dress the slaw a short time before serving, because cabbage releases water and thins creamy dressing over time. This prevents watery slaw at cookouts.
Brands that matter
- Kraft: Mainstream shelf-stable coleslaw dressing.
What to avoid
- Dressing slaw hours ahead with a thin dressing, which leaves it watery.
