Chef notes
Pineapple brings sweetness to the crunchy slaw and the walnuts add an extra layer of texture and flavor. Cabbage is an extremely nutritious vegetable and the pineapple and walnuts add additional vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, healthy fats and fiber. It's so easy to make ahead and store in the fridge. And this simple slaw only gets better and better with time!
Technique tip: In a hurry? You can use the bagged coleslaw mix with cabbage that is pre-shredded to save time.
Swap option: Change up the cabbage and with shaved Brussels sprouts.
