Submitted by carmel housewife

"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....
