Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    This recipe's flavorful bacon, vinegar and sugar sauce is similar to the dressing used in hot German potato salad.
  • tip 2
    Purchased coleslaw blend is shredded quite finely. for coarser shredded cabbage, quarter a small head of cabbage and shred it in the food processor. Or use a large sharp knife to slice the cabbage into coarse shreds.
  • tip 3
    Cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable containing fiber, vitamin C and beta-carotene, which may reduce the risk of cancer.
