Elevate your side dish game with this luxuriously creamy coleslaw, punctuated by the sharp tang of blue cheese, the sweet burst of red grapes, and the smoky crunch of bacon. A symphony of flavors and textures that will transform any meal.

Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, stone-ground mustard, and sugar until smooth and well combined. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Gently fold in the blue cheese crumbles, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Add the shredded cabbage and carrot mix and sliced red grapes to the bowl. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients with the dressing. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Remember that the blue cheese and bacon are already salty, so adjust accordingly. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Sprinkle the chopped bacon evenly over the top of the coleslaw. (1 minute)

06

Step

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the coleslaw to achieve the perfect creamy consistency. (8+ hours)

For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and consider adding toasted walnuts or pecans for a similar textural element.
If you prefer a tangier slaw, add an extra splash of apple cider vinegar.
For best results, use high-quality blue cheese with a pronounced flavor profile.
Make sure the bacon is crispy for maximum flavor and texture.
