Coleslaw Tips
Top with fresh mint garnish before serving
Mix well before serving
Drain your pineapple into a second bowl and set aside.
In some cases, we are finding crushed pineapple is super watery and settling into the bowl, especially after getting cold in the fridge.
Set aside the pineapple juice and only add a bit at a time if you need more moisture after cold and set. If not, discard.
