Inspired by the slaw I had after my race a few weeks back, I set out to create a pineapple slaw to go with the burgers I had unearthed from the depths of my freezer. I used canned pineapple, so it wasn't as noticeable as I wanted it to be. Still good, but feel free to play around with proportions and flavors to suit your tastebuds!
Pineapple Slaw
Recipe by Shannon
This is a lightly dressed slaw-- if you prefer a little more body, add more yogurt and a little less buttermilk.
1 12oz pkg of broccoli slaw (could also use regular coleslaw mix)
1c shredding carrots (~5oz)
2-8oz cans of crushed pineapple, drained (might even want more than this, or chunks)
1T poppyseeds
3-4T raisins
3-4T chopped walnuts
1/2c buttermilk
3T mayo (I have an olive-oil one that hides in my fridge for a rainy day)
3T cider vinegar
1T honey
salt/pepper, to taste
In a large bowl, combine dressing ingredients (buttermilk through honey). Whisk together, taste and adjust seasonings (salt and pepper). Add the slaw ingredients and toss well to combine.
I've also recently tried out Deb's Mango Slaw w/Cashews and Mint, and apparently am loving the fruit addition :)
Do you have a favorite slaw recipe??

Mmmmm this slaw sounds wonderful! I'm not a big fan of cabbage, so the broccoli slaw base is right up my alley, and the pineapple addition is so creative. I also love the idea of crunchy poppy seeds & walnuts and chewy raisins.
I'm experimenting with a a zucchini/carrot slaw that I hope turns out well. We shall see :).
This slaw is great because I think you can easily substitute ingredients with what you have on hand or what is in season! I love recipes like that!
I've been dying to try out Deb's slaw! Oh how I wish I could eat pineapple so that I could taste this...yum!
Yum! I feel like this kind of goes along with my peach gazpacho. A normally savory dish, kicked up by some fruity sweetness. Sounds delicious!

I've been trying lots of slaws lately and this one sounds awesome! I'm bookmarking :) If you're looking for another, we loved this one: http://www.thesweetslife.com/2010/08/cranberry-coleslaw.html
Love it! I love the freshness that fruit always adds to dishes. Great side for a summer meal :)
What a great addition to slaw! I love pineapple and am always looking for extra ways to use the ones we get at Costco for $3 so I'll have to try this next time :)
This looks great! So fresh!
I love ordinary slaw, but this is a nice twist! I am guessing the pineapple taste would go nice on something done barbecue-style
If it has pineapple, chances are I'll be obsessed. Sounds great!
Boy does that sound unique! Slaws are so delish when they're done right, but I hate mayo so I have a hard time enjoying the premade ones...can't wait to play around with this option!
LOVE the addition of pineapple. And broc slaw is just the best...I buy some almost every week for use in stir fry, salads,etc. I like slaw but without any mayo.
Great slaw recipe!
A terrific slaw with pineapple! I like the poppy seeds addition too!
