I do love that pre-cooked bacon is readily available in stores, it will make this even faster to whip up. But if you aren’t in a hurry and want to cook bacon, this great post on how to bake bacon is sure to help.

This can be made ahead of time for a cookout or BBQ, just give the bacon and tomato a quick toss when serving to keep the bacon crunchy.

I spiral sliced hot dogs and cut corn on the cob into small bite-sized pieces and served this all alongside this delicious BLT COLE SLAW along with slices of watermelon.

BLT Cole Slaw

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Package coleslaw mix or 1 head cabbage shaved, 1/4 cup purple cabbage shave and one carrot grated
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 8 slices cooked bacon or 1-1 1/2 cups chopped cooked bacon
  • 12 grape tomatoes cut into quarters
  • 1/4 cup mayo Homemade Mayo Recipe Here
  • 2 tablespoon plain yogurt buttermilk or milk will work well too
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice fresh squeezed
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon Back pepper fresh cracked is best

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients together (except bacon and tomato) and blend until the "sauce" coats all the cabbage and onion well.
  • Then stir in tomatoes and bacon, leaving some bacon to top the dish off with for garnish.
  • Chill for 30 minutes for great flavor.
  • If you are making this ahead of time to bring to a party, you can leave the tomato and bacon on top and toss that in at the last minute for the bacon to stay crisp and the tomatoes not to lose their juice.

    I can’t wait to make this! My husbands mother use to make her coleslaw close to this but with small chunks of sweet apples. I think adding the bacon and tomatoes with be awesome not to mention the burst in flavoring! Thank you so much Diane!!!!

    Yum! I cannot wait to take this to 4thof July parties! Cole slaw has never turned out for me–But I am willing to give it another shot! If nothing else I will end up with my own private sandwich slaw for the rest of the week 🙂
