9 Dressings that Go on Broccoli Slaw

Do you love broccoli slaw, but wish it had more of a kick?

Then you’re going to love the options below!

1. Ranch Dressing

Ranch dressing is a classic for a reason: it’s delicious. It’s also versatile, and can be used in many different ways.

Ranch dressing goes great on broccoli slaw because it adds an extra creaminess that helps to make the salad more filling and satisfying.

If you want to add ranch dressing to your broccoli slaw, here are some tips for how to do it:

• Add about 1/4 cup of ranch dressing per serving of slaw. You can use more or less depending on how much dressing you like, but this amount will give you just enough to make the salad taste great without being overpowering.
• Make sure that your dressing has no added sugar or artificial sweeteners (like Splenda).
• These ingredients will change the texture of the slaw and make it soggy instead of crunchy!
• If you’re making your own ranch dressing, try using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
• This will make the dressing healthier and give it more protein power!

2. Creamy Garlic Dill Dressing

This dressing is creamy, garlicky and delicious.

When used on broccoli slaw, it adds a nice kick of flavor while still keeping the dish light and refreshing.

The dill gives it a nice herbaceous note.

I like to drizzle the creamy garlic dill dressing over broccoli slaw before serving.

You can also use it as a dip for crackers or veggies!

How To Make It:

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon minced garlic (or more if you like!), 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill (or more if you like!), salt and pepper to taste until smooth.

3. Honey Mustard Dressing

I love honey mustard dressing. It’s kind of my go-to when I’m looking for something that’s going to give the dish a little bit of a kick, but not too much.

I like to use this dressing on broccoli slaw because it gives the dish a tangy flavor, but also allows for some sweetness and crunchiness as well.

This is a very easy recipe to make: simply combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a bowl, then whisk them together until smooth.

A tip: if you want an extra zingy flavor profile, add more Dijon mustard than called for in the recipe!

4. Italian Dressing

This dressing is great because it’s a little bit sweet and a little bit salty, which is great for broccoli slaw.

It also has just enough acidity to make it tangy, which tastes good with the broccoli and cabbage.

Here’s how I like to make this dressing:

1. Get out your whisk or wooden spoon and add 1 tbsp of white wine vinegar, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp dried basil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper into a small bowl.
2. Whisk together until fully combined (or mix with your spoon). The mixture should be thick but pourable—if it’s too thick for your liking, add more vinegar; if it’s too thin for your liking, add more oil (1-2 drops at a time).
3. Use immediately on your salad!

5. Caesar Salad Dressing

This dressing has a very classic taste that makes it great for salads and slaws, but I personally like it with broccoli slaw because it adds a little extra flavor to the dish.

It also has a great texture. It’s thick enough to stick to the broccoli, but not so thick that it’s hard to get into the mouth.

1. You can make this dressing at home by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce (if desired), garlic powder (if desired), salt and pepper until smooth.
2. Then, add in grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.

6. Blue Cheese Dressing

Blue cheese dressing is one of my favorite dressings.

It’s tangy, it’s creamy, and it has a little bit of crunch from the blue cheese crumbles.

I like to put this on top of a bowl of broccoli slaw because it helps me get the crunchy texture that I love in a salad, but without having to add in any nuts or seeds.

I also like to use this dressing if I’m making a sandwich with meat and veggies—it goes great with chicken or steak!

To make this recipe, you’ll need: 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/3 cup buttermilk (or whole milk), 3 tbsp white vinegar or lemon juice (to keep it from curdling), 2 tbsp blue cheese crumbles.

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl until smooth and creamy.

If your dressing separates after sitting for awhile (this can happen if you don’t shake it often enough), just give it another good stir before serving!

7. Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing

This dressing is super quick and easy to whip up, and it tastes amazing on broccoli slaw.

The vinaigrette is super-light, but the balsamic vinegar gives it a lot of depth.

I love the tartness of the fresh raspberries, but they also add a little bit of sweetness that makes me want to just drink this stuff from the bottle.

I like to make this dressing in bulk so that I have plenty left over for future salads or as a marinade for other vegetables.

It’s particularly good with raw vegetables like broccoli slaw because it helps keep them crispier than they would be if tossed with regular dressing alone.

To make this dressing, you’ll need:

• 1/4 cup of raspberry vinegar
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt

Here’s how to do it:

1. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Pour over your favorite broccoli slaw recipe, or just eat it straight up!

8. Balsamic Vinaigrette

I like to use balsamic vinaigrette because it’s got a great sweet-and-sour flavor that pairs well with the crunch of the cabbage and the bite of the broccoli.

I like to make my own so I can control what goes in it and make sure I’m not eating anything that’s not organic or non-GMO.

It’s super easy to do: just add some olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and mustard to a bowl, mix them together, and then pour over your broccoli slaw.

If you don’t have time to make your own dressing or if you just want something easy and convenient, look for a brand like Annie’s Homegrown Organic Dressings—they have a delicious balsamic vinaigrette made with real ingredients that will do the trick!

9. Asian Sesame Dressing

I love this dressing because it gives a little bit of Asian flair to a dish that can be pretty plain.

I also like to use this one because it helps me get more vegetables into my diet, which is something I try to do every day.

Plus, this dressing is super easy to make!

1. To make this dressing, just combine equal parts sesame oil and olive oil in a bowl or measuring cup.
2. Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 2 tablespoons honey (or agave nectar), then whisk until well combined.
3. Add 1/4 cup rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar—you can also use apple juice instead of vinegar if you don’t have any on hand!
