When I was making the pulled chicken slider sandwiches that I shared with you yesterday, I wanted to have coleslaw to go with them. I have some recipes for slaw, but I was in the mood for one with pineapple in it. I have had pineapple coleslaw before, but hadn’t made it myself. So I adapted a recipe that I found at Taste of Home. This one is really simple and only 4 ingredients. So today’s post is short and sweet just like this slaw. If your pineapple doesn’t get the slaw sweet enough for you, you can always add a little sugar. This was also yummy on the sliders with the pulled chicken.
Pineapple Coleslaw
- 3 cups coleslaw mix
- 1 cup unsweetened crushed pineapple, drained (I cup after it’s drained)
- 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise (I used canola mayo)
- In a large bowl, combine the first three ingredients. (You can add some salt and pepper too if you’d like)
- Add mayonnaise and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Yield: 4 servings.
I made this to top some BBQ pork sandwiches. A BBQ restaurant in the area has pineapple in their coleslaw so I was hoping this recipe was similar.
I liked it and it was good, but I think next time I will use Miracle Whip instead of the mayo. For me, something was missing that would make it more like the restaurant recipe, and I think the salad dressing might help that.
Thanks for the recipe!!
