Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Bacon
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 1 large Carrot
- 3 stalks Green onion
- 0.75 cups Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cups Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until they are crispy. Place the cooked bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then crumble into small pieces. Set aside.
Thinly shred the green cabbage and red cabbage, and place them into a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrot and shred it using a grater or julienne it into thin strips. Add the shredded carrot to the bowl with the cabbage.
Thinly slice the green onions and add them to the bowl with the cabbage and carrot.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Add the crumbled bacon to the coleslaw and gently mix to distribute it evenly.
Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Stir before serving.
