My kids don't really care for "regular" coleslaw. But when I make this, there are never leftovers. I've become quite the coleslaw snob after my family got used to eating it this way. Enjoy!
1 pkg shredded cabbage/coleslaw mix
1 1/2 C Mayo
1 C Sugar
1 Tbsp vinegar
onion salt, to taste
a few dashes celery seed, optional
6 pieces bacon, fried & crumbled
1 C finely shredded cheddar or colby jack cheese
Empty coleslaw mix into salad bowl. In small bowl, mix remaining ingredients, except bacon & cheese. Pour over coleslaw mix and toss well to coat evenly. Add bacon pieces and cheese and toss again. Store covered in fridge until ready to serve.
My shortcut tips:
I always buy the coleslaw mix because it already has the bits of carrots and I'm lazy like that. Also, I buy the package of precooked bacon and just "crisp" it in the microwave 45-60 seconds. Again, because I'm lazy like that. Haha.
I also "toss" my salad in a storage container with a lid or a gallon size Ziploc bag. Much more evenly disbursed on the dressing.
Also, I have used light Mayo and Splenda with this in the past and it was very good. I will also often substitute Apple Cider Vinegar for regular, just depending on what I have on hand. Something about the combination of the apple and bacon...Mmmm.
Interesting. I may have to try this.
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous! Our household loves it and will enjoy it often!
ReplyDeleteWe eat it for the bacon in it.
