A flavorful and creamy Bacon Blue Cheese Slaw combining crispy bacon, tangy blue cheese, and a zesty mayo-based dressing. Perfect as a side dish or topping for sandwiches, this slaw offers a delightful crunch with a rich and savory taste.

Ingredients

Scale

Bacon and Dressing

  • 1 pound bacon
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Slaw Mix

  • 16 oz bag coleslaw mix
  • 1 bunch green onions, sliced
  • 6 oz crumbled blue cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the Bacon: Set a large skillet over medium heat and use kitchen scissors to cut the bacon into bite-size pieces straight into the skillet. Cook the bacon for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until it is crispy and browned.
  2. Drain the Bacon: Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.
  3. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  4. Combine the Slaw: In a large bowl, add the coleslaw mix, cooked bacon, sliced green onions, and crumbled blue cheese. Pour the dressing over the top and use tongs to toss the slaw thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  5. Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the slaw until you are ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Notes

  • For the crispiest bacon, avoid overcrowding the skillet while cooking.
  • You can adjust the sugar in the dressing to taste for more or less sweetness.
  • Use full-fat mayonnaise for the creamiest dressing.
  • This slaw pairs exceptionally well with grilled meats or as a sandwich topping.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
