Ingredients

• 4 cups Green cabbage
• 2 medium Carrots
• 1 cup Pineapple chunks (canned or fresh)
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Green onion (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the green cabbage into fine shreds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

If using canned pineapple, drain the chunks and pat them dry with a paper towel to avoid excess liquid. Cut the pineapple into small bite-sized pieces, if needed, and add them to the mixing bowl.

Step 4

In a separate small mixing bowl, prepare the coleslaw dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the cabbage, carrots, and pineapple in the large bowl. Toss everything together until the vegetables and fruit are evenly coated in the dressing.

Step 6

If using raisins, fold them into the coleslaw mixture for added sweetness and texture.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the coleslaw to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the coleslaw to chill.

Step 8

Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick stir and sprinkle with sliced green onions for a fresh garnish, if desired.

Step 9

Serve cold as a side dish with your favorite meals. Enjoy the vibrant blend of creamy, tangy, and sweet flavors in every bite!
