Pioneer Woman Steakhouse Slaw

Found in The Pioneer Woman magazine Summer 2026 here

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
8 slices bacon
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup sour cream

2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 tsp. black pepper, plus more to taste
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
4 oz. crumbled blue cheese (about 1 cup)
4 celery stalks, thinly sliced on the bias
1 head napa cabbage (about 2 1⁄2 lb..), finely shredded

Soak the red onion in a bowl of ice water for 10 minutes. Drain and thoroughly pat dry.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until browned and crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to cool, then crumble.
Whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, sour cream, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, chives, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a large bowl. Add the blue cheese, celery, cabbage, red onion and most of the bacon. Toss until well combined. Season with salt to taste.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 12 hours. Season with pepper and garnish with chives and the reserved bacon.
