A little lighter than your typical slaw, this version is loaded with sweet pineapple, green onions, and slivered almonds. The simple homemade dressing doesn’t skimp on flavor! Made with mayo, pineapple juice, lime juice, and a bit of brown sugar, it’s super tangy and just the right amount of creamy. Using a bag of shredded coleslaw mix makes assembly a breeze, just whisk the dressing in a small bowl and then toss it all together.
