Bacon Apple Cider Slaw

I made this coleslaw recipe for my niece's sixth birthday party this weekend. It was delicious! My neighbor told me it was the best coleslaw she ever had. That's because it has BACON in it!!! Everything is better with bacon. It's perfect as a side dish or try it on top of a hot dog!

Bacon Apple Cider Slaw Recipe

Adapted from The Ghetto Foodie

Ingredients:
1 large head of cabbage, cored and shredded
1 lb. bacon, cooked until crispy and chopped
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
3 large granny smith apples, peeled and shredded
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup honey
3 tsp. salt
1/4 cup pulp free orange juice
1 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. pepper
3/4 tsp. fennel seed

Toss cabbage with 1 tsp. salt. Place cabbage in a colander over a large bowl and refrigerate for about 2 hours. Discard the excess liquid remaining in the bowl. In a large bowl, combine green onion, shredded apples, apple cider vinegar, mayonnaise, honey, 2 tsp. salt, orange juice, lemon juice, pepper and fennel seed. Whisk together until well combined. Add cabbage and bacon and toss to coat. Refrigerate overnight to allow the favors to blend. Enjoy!
