I like to use fresh cabbage for coleslaw instead of the bagged mix. It’s worth the few extra minutes. The taste is much better and you get more for your money.

I love a combination of sour cream and mayonnaise for coleslaw. Together they are so creamy and rich and the sour cream gives just a little tang.

Since it is apple season, you could try adding a julienned apple for a little extra crunch and a touch of sweetness. It ALWAYS goes well with blue cheese and bacon.

I’ve added a tower of crispy bacon pieces. 🙂

Add them just before serving so they stay crispy.

Tomorrow I’ll be sharing a delicious way to eat this Blue Cheese Bacon Coleslaw.
