While stumbling on Stumble Upon, I stumbled on a recipe for pineapple coleslaw.
And this was the day I bought two pineapples after eating an other in one evening.
Since I thought eating three pineapples sounded like too much, and since it doesn’t count if it’s used in a recipe, I decided to use this awesome idea.
And I got an awesome snack/side dish/appetizer.
aka something to eat when I’m hungry and don’t know what to eat. That happens a lot. Me not knowing what to eat. And yes, my fridge and cupboards are packed.
Adaptation of Pineapple Coleslaw, Yack
Ingredients:
- 16 oz bag coleslaw (if you shred your own cabbage, add 1 grated carrot)
- 1 cup finely chopped pineapple
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Salt, pepper to taste
Directions: In a large bowl, mix coleslaw, pineapple, cranberries and walnuts. In a small bowl, whisk vinegar, maple syrup and olive oil. Pour on the salad, add salt and pepper to taste and toss well. Put in the fridge at least 1 hour, overnight is best.
This was an amazing refreshing coleslaw. The flavors were great: sweet pineapple, chewy tart cranberries, crunchy nutty walnuts. The use of cider vinegar and maple syrup really brought the flavors out. Perfect dish with the sun and warm weather finally starting to show up!
Have a great week!

First of all I want to say great blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was interested to know how you center yourself
and clear your mind before writing. I have had a difficult time clearing my
thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I truly do take pleasure
in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just
trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
Appreciate it!
