Henri’s Tas-Tee Dressing Clone and Cole Slaw

by Sue  Lau | Palatable Pastime

Sunday Supper this week has a fabulous  theme going, and one that I really like. It is copycat and clone recipes. I always have a  lot of fun unlocking the secrets and codes to some of these foods, as I have done a number of them myself  and even posted some of those here on the blog.

The recipe I am doing this week,  Henri’s Tas-Tee dressing, I did last year and just had not had a chance to post it yet. I  had come across a bottle of it last summer sometime and grabbed it at the grocery store to make some of the Henri’s  coleslaw I  used to make often back during the 1970’s and 1980’s. I really had not seen this dressing for a very long time, although they were obviously  still making  it since I just bought some. And maybe it just happened to be that I never noticed it on the shelves since I tend to make a lot of dressings and sauces myself from scratch. But I decided to figure out how to make it myself  so I wouldn’t be without, and especially since my husband really likes the slaw made with it. I am rather lucky that the version I came up with tastes  just like it (and I know this since I tasted  them side by side).  Of course, making the clone while one has a full bottle of the item is a bit funny,, since then I had a ton of it. But I made lots of slaw being summer, and it quickly disappeared. So of course you know that we like it, especially  when we can make it for ourselves at home.

And while I do love this in my slaw dressing, people do actually like this as a regular salad dressing. But I admit I am mostly just a blue cheese or specialty vinaigrette girl for the most part. At one time I was pretty much strictly a Thousand Island girl, but I go through phases. So when I make this it is generally for the coleslaw and that recipe follows the dressing as I have also  included it here.

    • Thank you! I use half mayo and half TasTees in my potato salad. People ask for my potato salad and now that I can’t Henri’s TasTees this is excellent copycat

  1. This looks very tasty, and sounds wonderful! I make a lot of cole slaw during the summer also, and I love trying new dressings, just changing things up a little bit. I’m definitely going to try this.

  2. I’ve not seen that brand before, but it looks like a flavor and texture I go for with salad dressings. I’ll definitely give it a try!

  3. The turmeric and onion powder are two ingredients I’ve not thought of putting in my slaw dressing, but I’ll bet it gives a real zip to it! This looks so yummy and I love cole slaw!

  4. Your Henri’sTas-Tee Dressing a real winner at our house Sue, grandsons for lunch and supper this week – we love that dressing, How good – been requested three days running! Makes for one awesome cole slaw.

  5. I’ve never seen this brand. It sounds delicious! I’m looking forward to trying it. Thanks!

  6. I had no issues with my mixture being too thick but if I did I would not recommend thinning it with any of the things you mentioned. One, the milk will reduce how long this can be kept and also set the flavor off, two, red wine is absolutely incorrect in this. If red wine vinegar, it is going to set off the acidic balance and would then need much more oil and then have to be brought back with other flavors. I would only advise adding water if you think it too thick, but take care to make sure you added everything listed.

  7. Love this dressing for potato salad! I work in a food plant where we have made this for many years. Now it appears we will no longer be making Henri’s so I’m very happy to try this recipe.

    • My family has used Tas-tee dressing in our deviled eggs for decades. They’re a must (and my responsibility to make) every holiday meal. In Ohio, though, Henris has become so challenging to find! I’m so excited to have come across your recipe. Thanks for saving our Thanksgiving!

      • I still see it here and there. But nobody wants to run around like a wild chicken hunting it when you need it right then. Hope you enjoy!

  8. My mom used this dressing on her potato salad and it is my favorite! Can’t find this dressing in Pa so I’m thrilled to try this

  9. I grew up on Tastee. I reduced the sugar by half, added some water to thin it out a bit and reduced the onion powder by 25%. Delicious! Thank you!

  10. Is this red wine vinegar or white vinegar? I grew up on Henri’s Tas-Tee and am thrilled to find this recipe. I can finally make my favorite salad (fresh tomatoes, cucumber chunks and Vidalia onion with Henri’s TasTee).

  11. I’ve used Henri”s Tastee dressing since the late 1970’s. I add it to Miracle Whip when I make my potato salad. I haven’t been able to find it anywhere in my area, so I am delighted to find this recipe. I made potato salad last month and my son wanted to know what I had done different, because it sure didn’t taste right. You just can’t mess with the best . . . and I didn’t have the dressing to add! Thank you. I plan on trying this in my potato salad this weekend!

  12. This dressing is a little too sweet and a little too peppery but other than that it’s great! Just need to adjust how much pepper and sugar I put in.
