If you’ve never had a slaw burger before you have not lived. I cannot believe I’ve never thought to put coleslaw on a burger before and it’s quite amazing. I put together a quick red cabbage coleslaw with bleu cheese and bacon and topped it on big fat burger patty. It’s vegetables and beef. It’s gotta be healthy, right?!

Using my Juicy Burger recipe, I grilled up some massive half pound patties that held there own against this coleslaw and tossed it in a bun with a bit of ketchup on my slaw burger. Honestly though, the ketchup is totally optional because the bacon and bleu cheese coleslaw on top of this the burger on it’s own in the bun is really all you need!

This coleslaw is super easy to make especially if you own a mandolin, since it juliennes and shreds the cabbage and carrots super quick. I then used a mayonnaise, dijon and apple cider base then added a little Nature’s Seasons and a bit of cilantro to brighten things up.

This red cabbage cole slaw a very light and crisp slaw and with some bleu cheese and bacon gives you all the flavors you need to dump on top of a nice thick burger! It even makes a great side dish on it’s own so you have plenty of options here !

You will definitely love the crunch from the red cabbage along with all the flavors going on. This slaw burger is in no way your average boring burger. If you want to entertain some guests, or just treat the family to something new, get the grill started up and get this going now!
