What makes regular slaw even better? Bacon and blue cheese in the coleslaw! At “my” Kroger for some reason, the broccoli slaw in the salad department is always marked down on clearance. I guess not everyone loves the crunchy slaw mix as much as I do. I actually prefer it to traditional slaw mix in most recipes.
This creation came about by trying to make a slaw that my husband would like to go as a side with some steaks we planned on having that night. The bacon and blue cheese flavors seemed like a no-brainer to compliment the steak! It was a hit, he loved it. I think the slaw tastes the best right after making it because the bacon is still nice and crispy.T The leftovers the next day were fine but I preferred it day one. If you want to make it ahead for a party or meal planning I would say store the bacon separate until you are ready to serve. Mix it in at the last minute so the bacon does not get soggy.
If you do not have the pre-made broccoli slaw at your store you can save stalks from fresh broccoli and use a peeler or grater to shred them up. Use the florets for another side throughout the week!
