(ZA) Slaw doesn't have to be sloppy! (bacon, maple & blue-cheese slaw)



Adie never been a big fan of coleslaw and I don't like the store-bought stuff cos it is usually swimming in dressing so I gave this one ago instead and we've never looked back! It's crunchy and tasty, with a hint of sweet maple and a hit of savoury slat flavour from the bacon and stilton. So simple to make and perfect with any summer cook!

Mix 1 cup of ranch dressing with 1 tbsp granulated sugar and 1 tbsp maple syrup. stir into 1lb of coleslaw vegetables (1lb = approx 1/2 white cabbage shredded, 1 carrot peeled & grated and one onion finely sliced but you can change the ratios to suit your own taste) I use a cheat ingredient of pre-cooked crispy bacon rashers but you can crisp up your own. Add 100g roughly chopped crispy bacon and 200g crumbled blue cheese (I use a good bit of stilton) into the coleslaw mixture and mix well until everything is nicely coated in the dressing. 

This will keep well in the fridge for at least 2 days.
