Prepare the vegetables: Finely shred the green cabbage, grate the carrots, and thinly slice the yellow onion. Place the cabbage, carrots, and onion in a large mixing bowl.
4 cups Green Cabbage, 1 cup Carrots, ½ cup Yellow Onion
Cook and crumble the bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon and set aside.
½ cup Bacon
Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, whole grain mustard, and caraway seeds until the sugar dissolves. Slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil or olive oil, whisking continuously, to create a smooth, emulsified dressing. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
¼ cup Apple Cider Vinegar, 3 tbsp. Brown Sugar, 2 tbsp. Whole Grain Mustard, ½ tsp. Caraway Seeds, ⅓ cup Vegetable Oil, Salt & Pepper
Combine the ingredients: Pour the dressing over the cabbage, carrot, and onion mixture. Add the crumbled bacon and toss everything together until evenly coated with the dressing.
Marinate and serve: Allow the Bavarian coleslaw to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for the flavors to meld together. Give the coleslaw a quick toss before serving to redistribute the dressing. Enjoy this delectable Bavarian coleslaw as a side dish at your next barbecue or family gathering!
