Cool and Creamy Apple Pineapple Marshmallow Coleslaw
It’s really a match made in heaven.
you're making mealtime meaningful.
Retro dishes are making a comeback, so we were really excited when we heard about this nostalgic coleslaw dish. The acidic pineapples are balanced by sweet apples and marshmallows, and it’s all held together with a bright mayonnaise dressing that has just the right balance of tart and sweet. It’s really a match made in heaven.
We like to serve this delightful side with simple meats like grilled chicken or baked ham so the flavors really shine. It only takes five minutes to whip this up, but the real “work” is done in the refrigerator. Give this salad a little time to really build up its flavor by chilling in the refrigerator before serving. Try out this sweet and savory coleslaw that both kids and adults love, and don’t be afraid to add extra marshmallows – we won’t tell.
