Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple has a brighter flavor and more nutrients than canned pineapple.
  • Choose a ripe pineapple. A ripe pineapple will be yellow or orange in color and have a sweet smell.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the pineapple. A sharp knife will help you avoid tearing the pineapple and making it difficult to cut.
  • Remove the core of the pineapple. The core of the pineapple is hard and fibrous and should be removed before eating.
  • Cut the pineapple into bite-sized pieces. This will make it easier to eat and mix with the other ingredients in the slaw.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your slaw. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will weigh down the slaw and make it less refreshing.
  • Serve the slaw chilled. This will help to keep it crisp and refreshing.
