Notes
Pineapple coleslaw - the fresh pineapple adds a hint of sweetness while the vinegar balances it out with some tanginess! Pro tip: To make this dish even more colorful, delicious, and nutritious, you can also add other vegetables like green onions and fruits like grapes.
Why does coleslaw get watery?
No one likes watery coleslaw. The following three reasons explain why this happens:
Too much dressing or mayonnaise was added to the recipe.
The cabbage was washed and still water-logged when prepared.
There weren’t enough acidic ingredients used in the recipe.
