Ingredients Needed
- 1 head of green cabbage (about 3 cups shredded)
- 1 carrot
- 1 bunch of green onions
- 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks (drained, juice reserved)
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Step 1: Prepare the Cabbage
Start by preparing the cabbage. Remove the outer layers and wash it thoroughly.

Cut off the sides of the cabbage to get about three cups of shredded cabbage.

Using a sharp knife, slice the cabbage thinly.

Make sure to keep your fingers safe while cutting!

Once it’s shredded, transfer it to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2: Add Green Onions and Carrot
Next, chop the green onions. Cut off the ends and slice them thinly.

Add the green onions to the bowl with the cabbage.

Now, peel and shred the carrot using a box grater.

Mix the shredded carrot into the cabbage and green onions.

Step 3: Incorporate Pineapple
For that Hawaiian flair, drain the pineapple chunks. Make sure to save the juice for the dressing!

Press down on the pineapple with a fork to remove excess juice.

Add the pineapple chunks to the vegetable mix.

Use tongs to mix everything together gently.

Step 4: Make the Creamy Dressing
Now, let’s prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and pineapple juice.

Whisk everything together until smooth.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Give it a taste to make sure it’s just right!

Step 5: Combine and Chill
Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mixture.

Mix everything well until combined.

Cover the coleslaw and place it in the refrigerator for a while.

This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
