Ingredients
- 1 head (medium) Green cabbage
- 6 slices Bacon
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the core. Then, thinly slice the cabbage into shreds.
Step 2
Place the shredded cabbage into a large bowl and set aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it is crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess grease, leaving the bacon drippings in the skillet.
Step 4
Crumble the cooked bacon into small pieces and set aside.
Step 5
Add the apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the bacon drippings. Stir well until the sugar dissolves, and let the mixture simmer for about 1 minute.
Step 6
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Toss the cabbage in the warm dressing until it begins to wilt, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the cabbage; it should retain some crunch.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the crumbled bacon.
Step 8
Transfer the wilted cabbage salad to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Step 9
Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy!
