Tips:

  • If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well before using it.
  • Use a sharp knife to shred the cabbage and carrots. A sharp knife will give you clean, even shreds.
  • Add the pineapple, carrots, red onion, and cilantro to the cabbage. Using a colorful mix of vegetables and fruits could contribute to your dish much better appearance.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings to your liking. Diligently follow the given amount to achieve the best taste.
  • Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat. Make sure that every ingredient is well-coated with the dressing.
  • Serve the coleslaw immediately or chill it for later.
