"Ah, coleslaw -it's a must-have side for barbecue season, whether you pile it high on a brisket sandwich or just eat it straight from your fork. It's a beloved American dish outside of barbecues, too ( in fact, a version of coleslaw is even Tennessee's state food). And while the rich, creamy combo of veggies is super easy to whip up at home, you won't always have the luxury of prep time and counter space."
"Now, even though the basic coleslaw formula is relatively simple, the end result will vary pretty widely depending on who's making it. Anyone can add varying amounts of dressing or their own unique coleslaw additions, so it's highly unlikely you'll ever find two that taste exactly the same. That begs the question, then: Who makes the best store-bought coleslaw? Well, dear readers, I expected this ranking piece would be way more difficult than it was."
Coleslaw serves as a popular barbecue side and versatile American dish, with a version recognized as Tennessee's state food. Homemade coleslaw is simple, but store-bought options offer last-minute convenience. Store-bought coleslaws differ significantly depending on recipe choices, particularly dressing amount and added ingredients, making identical tastes unlikely. Evaluations ranked samples by crunch, vegetable-to-dressing ratio, and overall flavor to determine quality. Market Pantry placed sixth; its texture remained adequately crunchy but vegetables were chopped excessively small, diminishing bite satisfaction. The primary issue was flavor, which was unpalatable beyond a single forkful and raised concerns about quality control.
