I made this coleslaw last September for my granddaughter's Moana themed 3rd birthday party but have never shared it with you. When I started choosing the recipes I wanted to make for Cookout Week this year, I came across this in my archives.Welcome to Day 5 of Cookout Week...…….
Welcome to Day 5 of Cookout Week. What an amazing week it has been and some of us are posting another recipe tomorrow.
Have you entered into the amazing Giveaway yet? No? Well you better hurry up and do that right now over at my Welcome Post. Don't worry, I'll wait for you to get back before I share this delicious Cole Slaw recipe that is going to knock you socks off.
Using premade Coleslaw Mix makes allows this recipe to come together in a snap. You could make it even faster by using prepared pineapple chunks but I love using fresh pineapple when possible.
I served this up with Pulled Pork and Coconut Chicken but it would be a great side dish for whatever you are putting on the grill.
Make sure you stop by and see what the others are sharing today. You will find links at the bottom of this post.
