Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

2 cups shredded green cabbage
2 cups shredded purple cabbage
1 cup shredded carrots
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Protein

4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped into small bite-sized pieces

Dressing

3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (natural)
1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
1 tablespoon honey (natural)
4 tablespoons plant-based mayonnaise (natural)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (natural)
1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Salt (sea salt), to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables: Finely shred the green and purple cabbage along with the carrots using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer to ensure uniform pieces that help the dressing coat evenly and maintain a crisp texture.
Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: Chop the smoked turkey bacon into small bite-sized pieces and cook in a non-stick pan over medium heat until crisp and golden. Set aside to cool, allowing any fat to drain for a lighter salad touch.
Make the Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), honey (natural), plant-based mayonnaise (natural), Dijon mustard (natural), and the natural gelling agent until smooth. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Combine Ingredients: Place the shredded vegetables in a large bowl, pour the dressing over them, and toss gently to coat all the cabbage and carrots evenly.
Add Bacon and Herbs: Sprinkle the cooled smoked turkey bacon pieces and finely chopped fresh parsley into the bowl. Toss one final time to blend smoky, bright, and crunchy flavors beautifully.

Notes

Use the freshest cabbage available for maximum crunch and flavor.
Adjust apple cider vinegar and honey to suit your preferred balance of tanginess and sweetness.
Chill the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Keep vegetables thinly sliced for the best texture and easier eating.
Cook bacon until crisp but not burnt to avoid bitterness and maintain ideal smoky flavors.
