Gluten Free Lunch Side Dish

Apple Bacon Coleslaw

Jump to Recipe

The first thought that comes to my mind when I hear the word coleslaw is Kentucky Fried Chicken. Let me explain. When I was young, it was a big treat to get to go to Kentucky Fried Chicken. It would have been hard to choose what I liked best, the chicken or the choice of side dishes! I was one of those stubborn kids who hated vegetables and wouldn’t eat them. My poor mother tried every tactic there was, they never worked. There was no way she was going to get me to eat something that was both green and good for me. That’s why I could never understand why she would choose coleslaw as a side dish whenever we went to KFC. I was always in a dither trying to decide which two sides I wanted. Potatoes and gravy, biscuits, corn on the cob or the mac and cheese. Coleslaw was NEVER an option. Mom got it every single time and tried to convince me it was good. I grew up and I now eat veggie’s that are both green and good for me. I also learned to like some types of coleslaw. This pin was not a hard choice, because I just LOVE bacon! Why does saturated fat have to taste so darn good!!

Apple Bacon Coleslaw #Apple #Bacon #Coleslaw

I really liked the tangy dressing and salty bacon flavor combined with the sweetness of the apples. I almost forgot there was cabbage in there! And yes it is better the second day when the flavors have marinated and then released it’s full flavor. I still wouldn’t order coleslaw as a side at KFC, unless of course they changed the recipe to this one from Ghetto Foodie. Then I would get it every time.

You got it….This Pin Rocks

    On the Apple Bacon Coleslaw, is it a Hellmann’s type mayo or Miracle Whip. There is a huge difference in flavors so I would like to get a clarification if possible.

    Thanks!

      Hey Kim!

      I used Best Foods mayonnaise, you are right there is a huge difference in flavor between mayonnaise and Miracle Whip! I think either of them would be great. Thanks for following us! Tracy
