Boy, oh boy, did this Marzetti Classic Original slaw dressing copycat recipe 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, whether I make it the ‘right way’ or ‘my way’.
Mighty Good
This Marzetti Classic Original slaw dressing copycat recipe 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!
I like to use the slaw mix that has carrots and stuff in it. But you can go with the straight-up cabbage mix instead. Or for that matter, you can shred your own cabbage. Add what you want. Leave out what you don’t want!

Cold. Really Cold.
I have a thing about my coleslaws. I like them cold. Not like ‘sorta cold’ but really, really cold. So I make sure my dressing spends some quality time in the fridge first before I use it.
Go Light
It’s ok to use a light mayonnaise and a sugar substitute in this slaw. The dressing may end up being a little thinner, though. For the full-on Marzetti greatness, though, use the real stuff.
