Pineapple Mallow Coleslaw

We love coleslaw for a change of pace from green salad, so I am always looking for new ways to prepare cabbage to keep this side dish interesting. One of my favorite ways to dress up cabbage is to add fruit which helps to cut the strong taste of this vegetable that sometimes can be a bit over powering. In this coleslaw there is the added sweetness of honey and marshmallows for a very real change from a traditional coleslaw. I adapted this recipe from a Taste of Home reader-contributed recipe.

Recipe:

2 cups shredded cabbage
1/4 cup pineapple tidbits, drained
1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, honey and celery seed until smooth.
