Time 15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 green cabbage
1 carrot
1 stalk celery
1/4 small onion
8 sprigs parsley

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

Steps:

  • 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.

  • 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.
  • In a large bowl toss cabbage, carrot, onion, and celery until combined. Add dressing & pineapple chunks and toss to coat evenly. Chill until surving.

Tips:

  • For a creamy coleslaw, use mayonnaise or Greek yogurt as the base of your dressing.
