Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
  • 2 cups purple cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and shredded
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced (or canned tidbits, drained)
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro or mint, chopped
  • Dressing:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1 tbsp honey or agave nectar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Finely shred the cabbages and carrot. Dice pineapple, bell pepper, and slice green onions. Combine all in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise (or yogurt), lime juice, lime zest, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mix. Toss thoroughly until evenly coated.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning with more lime, honey, or salt as needed. Chill for 10–15 minutes to allow flavors to meld, or serve immediately.
  5. Garnish with chopped cilantro or mint before serving.

Notes

  • Pat produce dry to prevent watery dressing.
  • Taste and adjust dressing before mixing with slaw.
  • For extra crunch, add nuts or seeds just before serving.
  • Chill briefly before serving for best flavor meld.
  • Make ahead by storing dressing and chopped veggies separately.
