Ingredients

  • 24 ounces cabbage shredded, try combining Napa cabbage and Green Cabbage
  • 2 medium carrots cleaned and shredded
  • 2 1/2 cups fresh pineapple chunks or a 20 ounce can of pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup green onions sliced thin, green and white parts
  • 2 jalapeno peppers seeds and veins removed, and fine diced
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Buttermilk
  • 4 Tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
  • 4 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • In a large bowl combine cabbage, pineapple, shredded carrots, green onions and diced jalapeno.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, rice vinegar, salt and pepper and salt until smooth.
  • Add buttermilk mixture to cabbage mixture; toss to coat.
  • Refrigerate coleslaw for a minimum of four hours or overnight for the best flavor. Toss again before serving.

Notes

If using canned pineapple, reserve 2 tablespoons of the liquid and add to the buttermilk mixture.
What's the easiest way to shred carrots? Use the large holes of a box grater. Peel the carrots and then slide the carrots in a downward motion over the grater. You can also use a tool called a julienne peeler. It works very well and does so much more than julienne.
Use a packaged cole slaw mix if you want. It usually come with carrots already shredded which will save you time.
