Really Nice Coleslaw

Our weather has finally warmed up and it feels good to be munching on cool, crisp salad for supper.

Coleslaw is a salad we make lots of and I usually just toss the cabbage, carrots, raisins, etc. with some mayonnaise and add some sugar and seasonings. But I found a great recipe for salad dressing which Jill from Living on a Dime has on her site (Crunchy Veggie Salad) and today I adapted it a bit and used it for the slaw.

So what I did was mix about 1/2 cup mayo, scant 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cider vinegar (could even use a bit more), and lots of coarse black pepper. Pour over the mixture of cabbage, carrots and raisins and add 1/2 tin of drained, crushed pineapple. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

This was very tasty with a nice tropical touch and of course the sugar makes you want to eat more and more. But hey, at least the veggies are good for us!

Happy eating,
Joy
