Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the Napa Cabbage into thin strips and set aside. Crumble the bleu cheese and chop the walnuts roughly.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain the excess fat. Once cooled, chop into small pieces.

  3. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped Napa Cabbage, crumbled bleu cheese, chopped walnuts, and crispy bacon.

  5. 5

    Dress the Slaw

    Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately as a side dish or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving for a slightly wilted texture.
