Ingredients
- 8 ounce Bacon
- 1/4 cabbage finely shredded, green, whole head
- 2 cups (not packed) cilantro roughly chopped, leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the bacon slices side-by-side on the tray. Then cook the bacon for 18-20 minutes or until it's reached your desired level of crispiness. Remove the tray from the oven and transfer the bacon with tongs to a paper towel-lined plate.
- In a medium bowl, add the cabbage, cilantro, and crumbled bacon.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Then pour the dressing over the slaw.
- Toss everything together and serve in a large bowl.

Notes
- Adjust the cabbage slicing thickness to fit your serving preference—chunkier for salad or thinly shredded as a taco topping.
- This recipe yields about four servings as a salad or can top approximately twelve tacos when used sparingly.
- Doubling the ingredients allows for a larger portion suitable for more guests or meal prep.
