I Tried Dolly Parton’s Coleslaw and It Was Life-Changing.
Dolly’s secret? Pickle juice.
epicurious ^

A little confusing - the recipe says ‘dill’, but also says that if you don’t have dill, use pickle relish. But pickle relish is sweet, dill pickles are generally notBoth pickles and pickle relish can be bought as dill or sweet. I make the coleslaw in our house and I've known about the pickles/pickle juice for years. I have to watch my sugar intake, so I only use non sweet dill pickles or non sweet dill relish. I prefer to use kosher dill pickles and some of the brine. I chop the cabbage, onions, carrots and pickles in a food processor. I usually add a jalapeno, but I have never tried bell peppers as Dolly does. If you like a sweeter flavor in the coleslaw, by all means use sweet dill relish or sweet/bread & butter pickles. I add a pinch of stevia for sweetness.

I often substitute jalapeño juice for pickle juice. Similar product... but warmer.

“with a touch of granulated sugar,”
No. No, no, no. Sugar does not belong in cole slaw.

Have been hungry for some coleslaw all day.
I just buy a tub of slaw and add mayonnaise, vinegar with a sprinkling of sugar.
Great!!!

Dill pickle juice is an excellent ingredient in a great many dishes.
I make a sauteed chicken dish for my wife that we call Pickle Chix. Diced onions, garlic, diced dill pickles and another 1/2 cup of dill pickle juice mixed with a little Dijon mustard and an egg yolk all whisked together to make the sauce. After sauteing the flatted chix cutlets, reduce the sauce and pour over the chicken. Yummo.

You can buy dill pickle relish, but I really prefer the juice. We always put pickle juice in our tuna salad, along with celery salt, usually sweet pickle juice, but dill pickle juice is good, too.
I wonder whether pickle juice tastes s a Southern thing or a Tennessee thing?

We have dill pickle relish up here - that’s probably what I’d use.
Actually, I make a potato salad that is pretty popular for similar reason:
Boiled potatoes, broken up into pcs.
Hard boiled eggs, sliced into pcs.
Chopped dill pickle (Strubs are the best)
Chopped spring onion
Chopped celery
Real bacon pieces - crispy
Parsley
Salt, pepper and mayonnaise (NOT Miracle Whip) to taste
A bit of lemon juice or a little extra pickle brine if desired.
