1. Begin by preparing the vegetables. Shred the green cabbage and red cabbage into thin strips using a knife, food processor, or mandoline slicer. Peel and grate the carrots.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots.
3. Add the pineapple chunks to the vegetable mixture. If using canned pineapple, ensure it has been drained well to avoid excess liquid.
4. In a separate smaller bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and pineapple juice (if using). Mix thoroughly until it's smooth and creamy.
5. Pour the dressing over the cabbage, carrot, and pineapple mixture in the large bowl.
6. Toss everything together until the vegetables and pineapple are evenly coated in the dressing.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or a splash of pineapple juice for extra flavor.
8. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
9. Before serving, give the coleslaw another quick toss. Serve chilled and enjoy your tropical Pineapple Coleslaw!
