Ugly Dog Saloon's Coleslaw Dressing

"On a trip to New Orleans, we had lunch at a delightful little restaurant named the Ugly Dog Saloon and BarBQ. Those at our table loved their Cole Slaw and it's delicious dressing. The waitress graciously copied the recipe for us from the kitchen wall. Her version started with one gallon of mayonnaise, but I have scaled it down! Cooking time is for chilling, if desired."

  1. I used to live in New Orleans, and The Ugly Dog was a venue i would service...anyway i have seen the recipe written on the back wall in person , and i can swear there was a dash of tobasco in the recipe. I have been making this slaw or over a decade and i have always added the tobasco. Just my two cents.
     
  2. This is killer coleslaw. I spent a lot of time in New Orleans after Katrina and ate at the Ugly Dog often, it's very close to what they serve. This is not "ya Mama's" coleslaw, so be ready for something very different. It is very good and my family loves it with BBQ. If you don't have Molasses you I have used Steen's cane syurp and had just as good results.
     
  3. Brilliant! Deserves every one of its five stars.
     
  4. One of my favorite places of all time! My waitress was tight lipped with the recipe unlike yours! Thanks so much, I LOVE this stuff! What kind of molasses do you use?
     
  5. WOW!!! Next time we are making ribs with it! My boyfriend looked up this recipe and made it without me knowing. He brought it to my nose and it smelled like hamburgers.... needless to say using a fork or utensil was out of the question!!! The only changes he made was using McCormick's Garlic Season All as he couldn't find the garlic pepper seasoning. Thanks a TON!!

  1. This is an intriguing recipe and I had to try it. I did change it quite a bit though, so I'm not giving a rating. I'm not fond of soy sauce so I only added 1 tablespoon and found that added plenty of flavor. I didn't have garlic pepper so used Montreal Steak Seasoning instead. After tasting, I found the flavor of the molasses and soy sauce too prominent so added another tablespoon of mayonnaise. It certainly is different than the usual cole slaw!
