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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Thinly shred the green cabbage and red cabbage, and place them into a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Thinly slice the green onions and add them to the bowl with the cabbage and carrot.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss everything together until evenly coated.

Step 7

Add the crumbled bacon to the coleslaw and gently mix to distribute it evenly.

Step 8

Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Stir before serving.
