A crispy cabbage coleslaw in a creamy dressing with blue cheese and bacon!
Coleslaw is a summer staple and you can change the flavours up, like in this bacon and blue cheese cole slaw. This is a pretty basic coleslaw in a creamy dressing with crumbled blue cheese and crispy bacon! I like to use a simple mayonnaise dressing and add blue cheese but you could also use a blue cheese dressing. This bacon and blue cheese slaw makes for an amazing side to any summer meal and it’s also amazing in buffalo chicken burgers or buffalo chicken sloppy joes.
Feel free to omit the bacon.
