Delicious Pineapple Coleslaw Recipe for Your Next Meal

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced (Can use canned pineapple in juice, drained)
  • 1 cup carrots, grated
  • 1 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (Can substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (Freshly squeezed for best flavor)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Vegetables

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, diced pineapple, grated carrots, diced red bell pepper, and chopped green onions.

    Ensure the vegetables are fresh for the best flavor.
  2. Make the Dressing

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and lime juice until smooth.

    Taste the dressing and adjust lime juice if you prefer more tang.
  3. Combine Dressing and Vegetables

    Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently to combine thoroughly.

    Do not overmix to keep the vegetables crisp.
  4. Chill the Salad

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

    Garnish with extra lime wedges for an added zest.
