Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks (canned or fresh)
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Green onion (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Thinly slice the green cabbage into fine shreds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
If using canned pineapple, drain the chunks and pat them dry with a paper towel to avoid excess liquid. Cut the pineapple into small bite-sized pieces, if needed, and add them to the mixing bowl.
In a separate small mixing bowl, prepare the coleslaw dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage, carrots, and pineapple in the large bowl. Toss everything together until the vegetables and fruit are evenly coated in the dressing.
If using raisins, fold them into the coleslaw mixture for added sweetness and texture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the coleslaw to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the coleslaw to chill.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick stir and sprinkle with sliced green onions for a fresh garnish, if desired.
Serve cold as a side dish with your favorite meals. Enjoy the vibrant blend of creamy, tangy, and sweet flavors in every bite!
