Pineapple Coleslaw

By msippigrl

This uncommon combination of coleslaw mix and canned pineapple is tossed with a sweet and tangy homemade dressing. Don't be skeptical like I was at first, this was really good!

Ingredients

• DRESSING:
• 1 (16 oz) package tri-color coleslaw mix
• 1 (20 oz) can pineapple tidbits, drained in a colander and pressed out dry (crushed pineapple not recommended)
• 1/3 cup half-and-half cream
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Optional step: If a finer texture coleslaw is desired (as shown), pulse the coleslaw mix a couple of times in a food processor using the steel blade. (Do in 2-3 batches).

Place the cabbage mixture and pineapple in a large bowl. (I only used about 2/3 of the pineapple).

In a small bowl, whisk together the cream, mayo, sugar, and vinegar until creamy.

Pour dressing over the coleslaw mixture. Refrigerate a hour before serving. (I refrigerated both separately until serving time, then used just enough of the dressing for desired creaminess.)
