Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Green cabbage is the most common type used for coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a mix of both. If you want a milder flavor, use savoy cabbage.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the coleslaw absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline: This will help you get even, thin slices of cabbage.
  • Don't overdress the coleslaw: You want the cabbage to be coated in dressing, but not so much that it's soggy.
  • Let the coleslaw chill before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
  • Garnish the coleslaw with fresh herbs or crumbled bacon: This will add extra flavor and color.

Conclusion:

Crunchy bacon coleslaw is a classic side dish that is perfect for summer potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. It is also a great way to use up leftover cabbage. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and refreshing coleslaw that everyone will love.
