Brighten up your table with this refreshing Pineapple Coleslaw, a tropical twist on the classic side dish! This vibrant recipe combines crisp green and red cabbage, sweet shredded carrots, and juicy pineapple chunks for a perfect balance of crunch and sweetness. The creamy dressing, made with a tangy blend of mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of honey, ties the flavors together beautifully. Fresh green onions and optional cilantro add a burst of freshness, making this slaw ideal for summer gatherings or as a zesty topping for burgers, tacos, or pulled pork sandwiches. Ready in just 20 minutes, this quick and easy dish is a flavorful way to elevate any meal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots.
Add the pineapple chunks into the bowl, ensuring they are well-drained to avoid extra liquid in the coleslaw.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well blended.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Add the chopped green onions and fresh cilantro (if using) to the slaw and gently mix to combine.
Let the coleslaw sit for 10-15 minutes in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld. If time permits, refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving for the best flavor.
Serve chilled as a side dish or as a topping for burgers, pulled pork sandwiches, or tacos.
