Easy Coleslaw With a Kick!

Submitted by dEbBiE_oTaVa

"This is a recipe that gives regular old coleslaw a spicy kick. Very easy to make with great results! If you have never had wasabi, please, start out with a teaspoon and work your way up from there. Wasabi is Japanese horseradish and it is powerful stuff! But it sure does goes well with the rest of the ingredients."

 

• Ready In: 2hrs 10mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 8-10

ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) bag coleslaw mix
• 2⁄3 cup mayonnaise
• 1⁄4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 8 ounces crushed pineapple, drained (reserve the juice, it's an ingredient!)
• 3 tablespoons pineapple juice
• 1 -2 tablespoon wasabi (again, if this is new to you, please work your way up)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper

directions

1. Mix everything but the coleslaw together.
2. Pay special attention to be sure the wasabi is well blended. A trick I learned that works very well, is to put all the ingredients but the coleslaw mix into a big ziploc bag, then squish, shake, and massage the ingredients into a nice smooth blend.
3. Then add the coleslaw mix and the ingredients together in a large bowl and mix well.
4. Cover and put it in the fridge for a couple hours to overnight to allow all the flavors to blend inches It will be soupy on the bottom, but the salad will be crisp.

I used about 1 tbs of wasabi - kick enough for me! The pineapple and wasabi really gave it a unique flavor and it was a lot of fun making it from scratch. Thanks!!!
