Coleslaw with Sweet Pineapple – FAQs & Nutrition Card
FAQs
What makes this coleslaw different from regular coleslaw?
The addition of sweet pineapple chunks adds a fresh, juicy sweetness that balances the tangy and creamy dressing, giving a tropical flair that complements savory dishes beautifully.
Can I use fresh pineapple or canned pineapple?
Both work well! Fresh pineapple gives a bright, natural sweetness and texture, while canned pineapple (drained) offers convenience. Avoid pineapple in heavy syrup to keep it less sweet.
How do I keep the coleslaw crisp?
Use freshly shredded cabbage and carrots. Toss the vegetables with a little salt and let them sit for 10 minutes, then drain excess liquid before mixing with dressing. Chill before serving to maintain crispness.
Can I make this coleslaw ahead of time?
Yes, it tastes best when allowed to chill for at least an hour so the flavors meld. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Is this coleslaw healthy?
It’s a nutrient-rich side with fiber and vitamins from the vegetables and pineapple. To keep it lighter, use a low-fat yogurt or light mayonnaise in the dressing.
Can I add other fruits or nuts?
Absolutely! Try adding diced apples, raisins, or toasted nuts like pecans or walnuts for extra texture and flavor.
