Pineapple Slaw with a Salty-Sweet Coconut Dressing
Add a hint of tropical freshness to the slaw by adding thinly sliced fresh Pure Gold Pineapple to the mix. We’ve used a bag of slaw mix in this recipe – a fancier one with kale, but a plain one would work just as well – it’s a handy shortcut perfect for mid-week meals. Serve as a side to grilled fish, chicken, pork or beef. Or, prepare as a delicious salad in its own right, dotted with hot-smoked or leftover cooked salmon, smoked or roasted chicken, or even canned tuna.
