Grandma's Banana - Pineapple Coleslaw image

What a way to get in your fruits and vegetables! Grandma knew best how to get us to eat our fruits and veggies! This is an unusual and very tasty salad! When my dear grandmother made this for our big family... there was never any leftovers! It is a pretty colorful salad that you can be proud to serve... and you...

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

7 - 9 c cabbage (shredded or chopped fine)
1 can(s) pineapple (crushed, including juice)
1 small can mandarin oranges (chopped with juice)
1 Tbsp lemon juice
3/4 c mayonnaise
2/3 c brown sugar
1/2 c frozen orange juice concentrate
1 small cool whip
8 bananas (chopped and tossed with pineapple and oranges)
1 each: red and green bell pepers (diced)

Steps:

  • 1. Shred or chop the cabbage, put in large bowl or pan for mixing salad together. Set aside.
  • 2. put pineapple and chopped Mandarin oranges in a bowl (including juices). Add frozen orange juice, mayonnaise and brown sugar. Stir well until a nice sauce is made. Fold in the Cool Whip. Chop up the bananas and toss around in the fruits and juices (this helps meld flavors and prevent bananas from browning)
  • 3. Add the cabbage and red and green bell peppers. Stir and toss together until mixed well. Put in a nice serving container. Cover. Refrigerate at least 20 minutes. Just before serving: stir and toss salad to give it a fresh mixed look. Serve family style or in little dishes. *** You can garnish with maraschino cherries and Mandarin oranges if desired.

This is a great recipe! I used a combination of red and green cabbage, and added some chopped carrots for extra color. The dressing is tangy and sweet, and the slaw is a perfect side dish for any summer gathering.

I made this coleslaw for a potluck and it was a hit! Everyone loved it, and I got several requests for the recipe. It's so easy to make and it's so refreshing and delicious.

This is the best banana-pineapple coleslaw I've ever had. The flavors are so well-balanced, and the dressing is the perfect complement to the slaw. I will definitely be making this again and again.
