CRISPY CREAMY CABBAGE SALAD WITH BACON GERMAN STYLE



Crispy Creamy Cabbage Salad With Bacon German Style image

This is a creamy crunchy cabbage salad my family in Germany makes. I used half and half in this recipe but it also tastes very yummy with cream. I have also made the salad with evaporated milk before. I prefer a subtle bacon flavor, therefore I use oil instead of the bacon drippings but you can substitute these if you like.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 head green cabbage
3 ounces bacon, diced
1/2 cup half-and-half cream
4 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 ounce herbs, garden kitchen
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • shred cabbage fine or coarse as you prefer.
  • dice bacon (or canadian bacon) and fry crisp.
  • Mix half and half, vinegar, oil (or if you like more bacon flavor substitute with the bacon drippings), sugar, salt and pepper.
  • Ad bacon bits to the dressing.
  • pour over cabbage, mix and store in the fridge for 1/2 hour before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp cabbage. If you don't have fresh cabbage, you can use a store-bought coleslaw mix.
  • Use a sharp knife or a mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help the cabbage absorb the dressing better.
  • Don't overdress the salad. You want the cabbage to be coated in dressing, but you don't want it to be soggy.
  • If you're using a mayonnaise-based dressing, be sure to use a high-quality mayonnaise. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad.
  • Add some crunch to the salad by adding some chopped nuts or seeds. You can also add some crumbled bacon or hard-boiled eggs for extra flavor.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. Creamy cabbage salad is a great side dish for a variety of meals, including grilled chicken, fish, or pork.

Conclusion:

Creamy cabbage salad is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up fresh cabbage, and it's also a good source of vitamins and minerals. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a creamy cabbage salad recipe that everyone will love.
