Crispy Bacon Coleslaw
This Crispy Bacon Coleslaw is a fresh and flavorful twist on a classic side dish. Made with crunchy cabbage, sweet carrot, tangy onion, and smoky bacon, all tossed in a light oil and vinegar dressing — it's the perfect balance of savory, tangy, and crisp in every bite.
Ingredients
- ½ pointed cabbage
- 1 red onion thinly sliced
- 1 carrot grated
- 3 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- 125 g bacon cubes fried until crispy
- 3 tbsp sunflower oil
- 3-4 tbsp vinegar (apple cider or white)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep the veggies: Slice the pointed cabbage into thin julienne strips, grate the carrot, cut the red onion into thin slices, and finely chop the parsley.
- Soften the cabbage:Place the cabbage in a large bowl, sprinkle with a little salt, and massage it gently with your hands for 1 minute to soften it slightly.
- Combine the vegetables: Add the grated carrot, sliced red onion, and chopped parsley to the cabbage.
- Cook the bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon cubes until crispy and golden. Once done, add the warm bacon (with a bit of the fat if you like) directly into the bowl with the vegetables.
- Add the dressing: Drizzle the sunflower oil and vinegar directly over the mixture. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Mix and serve: Toss everything together until well combined. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes, or serve right away for a crunchy, flavorful side dish.
