This Cabbage Bacon Salad is a recipe I really enjoy. Crunchy, sweet, with the added saltiness of smoked bacon. Yum!
Everyone has their go-to coleslaw recipe, whether they finely grate their cabbage or coarsely chop it on a cutting board. Maybe it has red cabbage in it. Or vinegar, or just salad dressing and sugar. Honestly, I’m not too picky about my coleslaw. I pretty much like them all.
What makes this recipe different is the added bacon pieces–which people seem to really love and appreciate. I received so many compliments on it at a family gathering one year, I had to add it to my arsenal of recipes.
