Apple-Bacon Slaw

Step 1

Place the bacon in a large frying pan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp and browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Meanwhile, place the vinegar, oil, honey, mustard, and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Stir in the scallions and set aside.

Step 2

Transfer the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Measure out 1/4 cup of the bacon fat and whisk into the dressing.

Step 3

Cut the cabbage into 8 wedges through the core, then cut the core from each piece. Thinly slice the cabbage wedges crosswise to shred. Place in the bowl of dressing. Core, then cut the apples into 1/2-inch dice (no need to peel). Add to the bowl of cabbage, add the parsley, and toss to combine with the dressing. Add the reserved bacon and toss again to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
