Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 pound refrigerated or frozen pizza crust or bread dough, thawed according to package directions if frozen
1 cup prepared barbecue sauce
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onions
8 cooked shrimp, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 slices turkey bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
1/2 cup sliced black olives
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 packaged coleslaw mix

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Roll pizza crust into a large rectangle, about 14 by 10 inches.
Top pizza with barbecue sauce, to within 1/2-inch of the edges. Top with onions, shrimp, bacon, olives, and both cheeses. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until cheese melts and crust is golden brown.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the cider vinegar, olive oil and Dijon mustard. Stir in the raisins and the crumbled blue cheese. Season with salt and pepper and toss with the packaged coleslaw mix in a large bowl. Serve with pizza.

Tips:

For a creamier coleslaw, use mayonnaise instead of Greek yogurt.
If you don't have blue cheese dressing, you can make your own by mixing together mayonnaise, sour cream, crumbled blue cheese, and a little bit of lemon juice.
To add a bit of sweetness to the coleslaw, add a tablespoon or two of honey or maple syrup.
If you like a little bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
For a more colorful coleslaw, add some shredded carrots, red cabbage, or radishes.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese bacon coleslaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It's perfect for potlucks, picnics, and cookouts. With its creamy, tangy dressing and crunchy vegetables, this coleslaw is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
