Mount Coleslaw
Ingredients
Creamy dressing
Instructions
-
Cook bacon in saucepan on medium-high until lightly golden and crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain.
FOR THE TM: Place bacon (cut into pieces) into the mixing bowl. Without MC, sauté 8–10 min/Varoma/Reverse/speed 1 until lightly golden and crisp. Remove bacon onto a plate lined with paper towel. Set aside. Rinse bowl if needed. -
For the dressing, make the dressing by combining all ingredients in a jug.
FOR THE TM: Add all dressing ingredients to the mixing bowl. Mix 10 sec/speed 4 or until well combined. Transfer dressing to a jug and set aside. -
Place 2/3 of the red cabbage on a serving platter, top with half the red onion. Next, layer 2/3 green cabbage and spring onions over red onion layer, placing some parmesan cheese halfway through. Next, pile most of the parmesan over.
FOR THE TM: Add half the red cabbage (roughly chopped) → 4-7 sec/speed 4. Transfer to platter. Chop remaining red cabbage → 4-7 sec/speed 4. Set aside separately. Add half the green cabbage → 4-7 sec/speed 4, transfer. Chop remaining → 4-7 sec/speed 4, set aside. Place half the red onion into bowl → 2–3 sec/speed 5, transfer. Repeat with remaining onion. Chop spring onions → 2–3 sec/speed 5, set aside. (If using parmesan block, grate 10 sec/speed 8 before starting the salad.) * -
Drizzle 2/3 of the dressing over the parmesan. Then add some of the bacon and almonds (reserving some for the top). Continue layering remaining red cabbage, onion, green cabbage, spring onions, parmesan and dressing, finishing with the reserved bacon and almonds.
Note
Just as good layered without a peak or mixed to combine. Could be done slightly ahead but leave nuts as a garnish at last minute to stop them becoming soft.
Notes for Thermomix
*If you are the lucky possessor of a Thermomix cutter, please be free to use this instead of chopping in the bowl.
Not suitable to freeze.

TESTER’S COMMENTS FOR TM METHOD
This was a great success using the Thermomix.
By far the best Coleslaw! Mixing the dressing and cabbage in a bag first seems to work better than drizzling.
Great recipe, great presentation! have found it works better if you mix both types of cabbage with the dressing separately and then layer, rather than just drizzling on the top of each layer
Lovely salad.. I used a mix of cheddar and parmesan and didn’t do so much cabbage.. also used sweetheart cabbage. Everyone enjoyed it.. will do again!
I love this salad, prep the day before and leftovers mixed together are delish. Does make lots which is handy if u entertaining in a row.
Absolutely delicious! I didn’t do in a stack but mixed…….never have had such a good coleslaw!
Really delicious! Simple and easy to make ahead of time which really helps. The dressing is delicious!
Very tasty, I made quite a few hours ahead so the dressing had time to seep through all the layers, makes a lot, but is great the following day too
super easy… I used tasty cheese instead of parmesan and left the nuts and dressing off due to allergies and served dressing on the side… easy to customize to suit dietary requirements!
Delicious! Beautiful colouring. Makes quite a lot. Didn’t use all the cabbage and still had leftovers.
Such an awesome twist to a plain coleslaw. Very tasty and the quantities are vey generous. Would recommend a little less cabbage
Delicious. The nuts are a nice addition
Very tasty and easy to do. Would recommend.
Very nice salad, prepared the ingredients the day before and then assembled on the day.
Very tasty, great go-to salad! Leftovers awesome for sliders, tacos, burgers etc.
Please can you confirm the quantity of cabbage if you increased servings to 20. it doesn’t seem to change like the other ingredients. Many thanks
Hopefully this is fixed now, although it is a little difficult without an actual weight. I will get the test kitchen to re test this and get the weight in grams which works better with the conversion.
