Ingredients
Method
- Directions:
- In a cold skillet over medium heat, cook bacon strips for 8–10 minutes, flipping once, until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble.
- In a large bowl, combine shredded green cabbage, purple cabbage, and carrots. Add cucumber on top.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together ranch dressing, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Pour the dressing over the vegetables. Toss thoroughly with tongs or two spoons until every strand is coated.
- Fold in most of the crumbled bacon and chopped chives, reserving some for garnish.
- Spoon the slaw evenly into 8–10 small cups or ramekins, pressing down lightly to form neat layers.
- Top each cup with remaining bacon bits and chives. Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or cover and refrigerate up to 6 hours.
