Ingredients

• 6 slices Bacon
• 4 cups Green cabbage
• 2 cups Red cabbage
• 1 large Granny Smith apple
• 1 large Red apple (e.g., Honeycrisp or Fuji)
• 1 large Carrot
• 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until crispy, about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove the bacon and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the skillet.

Step 2

While the bacon cooks, thinly slice the green and red cabbage and peel and shred the carrot using a grater or food processor. Core the apples and slice them into matchstick-sized pieces (no need to peel them unless preferred).

Step 3

In the skillet with the reserved bacon grease, add the olive oil and heat over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the green and red cabbage and shredded carrot to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.

Step 5

Stir in the apple slices, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and black pepper. Continue cooking for 2-3 more minutes until everything is well combined and warmed through.

Step 6

Crumble the cooked bacon and add it back into the skillet. Toss well to combine with the cabbage, apple, and carrot mixture.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Transfer the hot bacon coleslaw to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if using.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a warm side dish and enjoy!
