Ingredients
Scale
Coleslaw Base
- 10 ounce bag of coleslaw mix (or 4 cups shredded cabbage and carrot mix)
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 (15-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
Dressing
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Make the dressing: In a bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, and a few shakes of salt until smooth and well combined.
- Combine coleslaw mix and pineapple: In a large serving bowl or a Tupperware-style storage container, mix together the drained crushed pineapple, coleslaw mix, and additional chopped cilantro to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Add dressing and season: Pour the prepared dressing over the coleslaw mixture and toss gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly. Sprinkle several turns of freshly ground black pepper over the top. Taste and adjust salt and pepper seasoning as needed.
- Chill and serve: For the best flavor, refrigerate the coleslaw for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld beautifully. Although ideal when eaten the same day, it can be kept chilled for later use.
Notes
- You can substitute the coleslaw mix with freshly shredded cabbage and carrots for a fresher texture.
- Drain the pineapple well to prevent the coleslaw from becoming too watery.
- Adjust vinegar and seasoning according to your taste preference for a more tangy or creamy dressing.
- This coleslaw is best served chilled and eaten within the same day for optimal freshness.
