Mile-High Loaded Coleslaw
Mile-High Loaded Coleslaw is an indulgent twist on traditional coleslaw, featuring layers of extra ingredients like shredded cheese, crispy bacon, chopped onions, and sometimes apples or nuts. The base consists of finely shredded cabbage and carrots, tossed in a creamy dressing made from mayonnaise, vinegar, and seasonings. The "mile-high" name reflects the generous layers of toppings, making it a hearty and flavorful side dish. This coleslaw is often served at barbecues, with sandwiches, or as a topping for burgers.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 200g bacon rashers, trimmed, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 red cabbage, shredded (about 4 cups)
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 green cabbage, shredded (about 4 cups)
- 2 green shallots, thinly sliced, plus extra, to serve
- 140g (2 cups) finely grated parmesan
- 95g (1 cup) flaked almonds, toasted
Creamy apple cider dressing
- 235g (1 cup) mayonnaise
- 130g (1/2 cup) Greek-style yoghurt
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh continental parsley
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain.
- Meanwhile, for the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a medium jug.
- Place two-thirds red cabbage on a platter. Top with half of the red onion. Combine the green cabbage with the shallot. Top the red onion with two-thirds green cabbage mixture.
- Scatter the green cabbage layer with most of the parmesan. Drizzle two-thirds dressing over the parmesan. Reserve a few pieces of bacon and some almonds. Top the dressing with the remaining bacon and almonds. Continue layering with the remaining cabbage, red onion, green cabbage mixture, parmesan and dressing, finishing with the reserved bacon and almonds. Sprinkle with extra shallot.
