Are you tired of the same coleslaw? Try this colorful cabbage salad without mayonnaise, but instead, uses your freshly made fig-Dijon salad dressing. Don't want to make your own dressing? Use 1/2 cup or more of your favorite bottled honey mustard dressing. Mandarin oranges and red bell peppers add color, almonds and chopped bacon provide a satisfying crunch!

Ingredients

Fig-Dijon Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

  • 2 dried figs, seeded and minced

  • 2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil

  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Salad:

  • 4 slices bacon

  • 1 (10 ounce) package shredded cabbage

  • ½ cup thinly sliced red bell pepper

  • 2 green onions, sliced

  • ⅓ cup dried cranberries

  • ⅓ cup sliced almonds

  • 1 (4 ounce) container mandarin oranges in juice, drained

Directions

  1. Combine mustard, figs, raspberry vinegar, avocado oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a blender or small food processor and pulse a few times at first. Run for about 1 minute until dressing is well blended and set aside.

  2. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Allow to cool for 10 minutes and crumble.

  3. Combine shredded cabbage, bell pepper, green onions, dried cranberries, sliced almonds, and mandarin oranges in a large bowl. Gently toss with the dressing and garnish with crumbled bacon.

  4. Gently toss with the dressing, garnish with crumbled bacon, and serve.

Cook's Note:

Refrigerate any leftovers, reserving the bacon separately.
