CRISPY CREAMY CABBAGE SALAD WITH BACON GERMAN STYLE



Crispy Creamy Cabbage Salad With Bacon German Style image

This is a creamy crunchy cabbage salad my family in Germany makes. I used half and half in this recipe but it also tastes very yummy with cream. I have also made the salad with evaporated milk before. I prefer a subtle bacon flavor, therefore I use oil instead of the bacon drippings but you can substitute these if you like.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 head green cabbage
3 ounces bacon, diced
1/2 cup half-and-half cream
4 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 ounce herbs, garden kitchen
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • shred cabbage fine or coarse as you prefer.
  • dice bacon (or canadian bacon) and fry crisp.
  • Mix half and half, vinegar, oil (or if you like more bacon flavor substitute with the bacon drippings), sugar, salt and pepper.
  • Ad bacon bits to the dressing.
  • pour over cabbage, mix and store in the fridge for 1/2 hour before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Green cabbage is the most commonly used for coleslaw, but red cabbage or a mix of both can also be used for a more colorful salad.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the dressing to coat the cabbage evenly and make the salad more tender.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to shred the cabbage: This will give you clean, even shreds.
  • Rinse the cabbage after shredding: This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a creamy dressing: A creamy dressing will help to bind the salad together and make it more flavorful.
  • Add some sweetness: A little bit of sugar or honey can help to balance out the acidity of the vinegar in the dressing.
  • Add some crunch: Adding some chopped nuts or seeds can add a nice crunchy texture to the salad.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help to allow the flavors to meld and make the salad more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Creamy cabbage salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a creamy cabbage salad that will be the star of your next potluck or barbecue.
