EASY COLESLAW WITH A KICK!



Easy Coleslaw With a Kick! image

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.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 2h10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • Mix everything but the coleslaw together.
  • 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.
  • Then add the coleslaw mix and the ingredients together in a large bowl and mix well.
  • 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.
