Kickin Coleslaw

Merry Cook's Note:

I have had great coleslaw and I have had bad coleslaw, and this is my favorite way to make it. This is my own recipe after years of experimentation :)

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 12

• 1 green cabbage
• 1 carrot
• 1 stalk celery
• 1/4 small onion
• 8 sprigs parsley
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks

Dressing

• 1 cup kraft coleslaw dressing
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons tony chacheres creole seasoning (or your favorite Cajun seasoning)

Directions:

1. Chop carrot, celery, onion, and parsley very fine – I like to use my food processor for that. Chop the cabbage very fine or grate it in the food processor.
2. Drain pineapple chunks and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Let drain some more after you put the sugar on them.
3. Combine dressing, mayonnaise, and Creole seasoning in small bowl – whisk to incorporate – then add sweetened pineapple. Sometimes I add ¼ cup of poppy seed dressing or apricot jam for a little more sweetness.
4. In a large bowl toss cabbage, carrot, onion, and celery until combined. Add dressing & pineapple chunks and toss to coat evenly. Chill until surving.
