Zesty Pineapple Cole Slaw

carmel housewife's Note:

Full of FLAVOR and less fattening than traditional slaw. Great for pitch in, parties or everyday side dish. Especially good with "Turkey Burgers with flavor," fish and kabobs.

This was a very tasty alternative to traditional cole slaw. I really liked the salsa verde addition and it added a unique flavor to the slaw, as one would expect. I love the pineapple too. My family enjoyed this and I look forward to fixing it again for a change of pace. Thanks! For Pick a Chef Spring 2009....
