Tropical Pineapple Mango Coleslaw with Macadamias ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #Hawaiian #fruity #slaw #recipe

My friend describes this salad like this: it is a slaw like no slaw you’ve ever had before. It’s tropical, fruity, crunchy, with hints of orange, pineapple, mango, mint and cilantro and crunchy, salty roasted macadamias on top. I have made it my lunch on several occasions by topping with shrimp and a drizzle of Sriracha. It goes heavenly on fish or shrimp tacos too. I’ve served it alongside Huli Huli Chicken and Kalua pulled pork sandwiches.


You’ll have a lot of salad when you make this–enough to feed a crowd. It’s the perfect salad to take to a family gathering or potluck because just about everyone loves it, children and adults alike, and it’s mayonnaise free, so it can safely sit out for hours. It’s best made with fresh pineapple, but you can use canned pineapple in a pinch. I made it for our 4th of July gathering at my sister’s lake home and it was the salad that got eaten the most. I made it for my yoga friends and had plenty left for lunches for myself for several days. And then I made it for a luau party we had at Little Cellar Wine Company last night. It’s such a pleasant, summery, colorful salad. If you use a mix of purple and green cabbage, it becomes a rainbow slaw. So many colors, tastes and textures! It’s happiness in a bowl.
