Description
Hawaiian Pineapple Coleslaw is a refreshing side dish that combines crisp cabbage, sweet pineapple, and creamy dressing, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt: This acts as the creamy base for the dressing, providing a tangy flavor and boosting the dish’s protein content.
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard: Adds a subtle kick to the dressing, enhancing the overall flavor profile.
- 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar: Offers acidity, balancing the sweetness of the pineapple and cutting through the richness of the yogurt.
- 2 Tablespoons pineapple juice: Reserved from the canned pineapple, it infuses the dressing with extra tropical sweetness.
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt: Elevates all the flavors in the dish.
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper: Provides subtle heat, enhancing the overall taste.
- One 10–15 oz. bag coleslaw mix or about 4–5 cups shredded cabbage: This is the base of the coleslaw; you can use just green cabbage or a mix of red and green to add color.
- 1 cup pineapple tidbits: Provides fresh bursts of sweetness and juiciness.
- 1/2 cup macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped: Adds a delightful crunch and a touch of tropical flavor.
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 2 Tablespoons pineapple juice, 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir the mixture until smooth and well combined.
- In a large bowl, toss together one 10-15 oz. bag coleslaw mix or about 4-5 cups shredded cabbage, 1 cup pineapple tidbits, and 1/2 cup macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped until evenly distributed.
- Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and stir gently to ensure everything is coated evenly with the dressing.
- Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or store the coleslaw in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve. It can be kept for a couple of days, but the texture may soften over time.
