Island Coleslaw

Homemakers Best Tested

West Indians love cabbage salad, and the sweet and tart flavours of this coleslaw with pineapple go perfectly with the piquant tastes of the grilled items.

Ingredients

8 cups  (2 L) 
1 tsp  (5 mL)  salt
Half pineapple
2 carrots, julienned or shredded
1 sweet red pepper, thinly sliced
Half white onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup  (125 mL)  mayonnaise
3 tbsp  (45 mL)  cider vinegar or white vinegar
1 tbsp  (15 mL)  granulated sugar
1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  black pepper
Dash hot pepper sauce

Preparation

Mix cabbage with salt; let stand until soft, 1 to 2 hours. Drain and squeeze out excess liquid. Place in large bowl.

Thinly slice pineapple crosswise; stack slices and cut into thin strips. Add to cabbage along with carrots, pepper and onion; mix well.

In small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, pepper and hot pepper sauce. Toss with cabbage mixture. Let stand for at least 20 minutes. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 2 days.) Toss before serving.

Makes 8 to 12 servings.
