Cole slaw and I have never been one. You see I am not a big lover with mayo. I don’t like to add a lot to my tuna fish or chicken salads. Just a little is perfect., even on sandwiches I only like a little but. So when it comes to cole slaw I am very finicky. While I I was working on a simple cole slaw recipe I knew hat I wanted to be super easy made with ingredients that I always have on hand, cabbage, carrots, apples, sugar, apple cider vinegar, and of course some tasty bacon. Now yes, everything tastes better with bacon… am I right or am I right? hehehe
I think one of the reasons why I really enjoyed this recipe was that it literally took me 15 minutes to make and all I needed to do was put it in the fridge and let it rest until I was ready to serve. How much better could it get?
Now, I plan on making other versions of cole slaw, this is one of many… do you have any recommendations or favorites for cole slaw? I would love to know below!
