PINEAPPLE COLESLAW SALAD

pineapple-coleslaw-salad-nairobi-kitchen-recipe

Hope your week has been great. Seems time will keep running like it wants to complete a marathon lol! Anyway so I needed something light, fresh and colorful to add to my table on this dull dreary weather in Nairobi city. The only thing that came to mind was a salad. Quick and easy to whip up and since I had enough vegetables I went for that idea. I have always loved Coleslaw especially when I have it with French fries and rice dishes. I knew this would go great with the left over Pilau Rice I had yesterday. Today I didn't want just the usual normal plain Coleslaw salad, so I decided to search for ideas to up my Coleslaw.I saw pineapples and I was sold! I lie to you not when I tell you that this is the best Coleslaw Salad you will ever eat. It had all the crunch from the Cabbage and Carrots, a tangy taste from the garlic (I had never put Garlic in my Coleslaw salad until now, best decision ever!) and tropical ecstasy from the Pineapples. It's unbelievable how good this Coleslaw salad turned out. Try it and see how much great reviews you will get, I got plenty!
