Pineapple Coleslaw

Let's face it; cabbage is generally not a favorite food of most people, especially children. The addition of drained, crushed pineapple in this recipe sweetens the coleslaw without adding extra sugar and calories. The taste so refreshing and naturally sweet! This is a very pleasant change from traditional coleslaw recipes, and it works well with any menu. Blessings...
