Every time I make this and bring it somewhere people tell me this is the best coleslaw ever! So, that is how it got its name. If you can't find Jimmy's dressing I am sure you can use full-fat Marzetti dressing.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Somehow all the ingredients combine to make the tastiest homemade coleslaw. Grapes and mandarin oranges add sweetness. Fresh broccoli and chopped pecans add a nice crunch. Mixed with the creamy coleslaw dressing, it's an unusual side dish your guests will be talking about at any summer cookout.
