This warm cabbage salad bursts with flavor from a tangy Dijon vinaigrette and crispy bacon.

Warm Cabbage Salad With Bacon

Active Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 20 minutes

Serves 6

3 slices bacon, chopped
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
2 tablespoons grapeseed or canola oil
2 medium carrots, sliced
1/2 medium red onion, chopped
4 cups chopped savoy cabbage (1/2 medium head)

Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-low heat, stirring often, until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk vinegar, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in oil.

Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon, leaving the fat behind. Increase heat to medium-high and add carrots and onion; cook, stirring often, until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cabbage; cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to wilt, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Add the vinaigrette and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute.

Serve immediately, sprinkled with the bacon.
