Sweet and Spicy Slaw

I am thrilled to take part in the Fiesta Friday Healthy Recipe Challenge!  A special thanks to our amazing host, Angie!  She challenged me and other food bloggers, to come up with a recipe which includes a green and pineapple, and is healthy.  It was such a fun challenge, and such a great experience to use an ingredient I just don’t use enough of, and that is pineapple!  I am a huge lover of slaw, and enjoy the endless possibilities with dressings and ingredient choices.  This is a flavorful and healthy slaw, packed with veggies, and sweetened with honey and pineapple juice, instead of sugar.  This is not a low fat slaw, but contains extra virgin olive oil, which provides a dose of healthy fat.  This slaw has wonderful textures and flavors, and is sweet, spicy, and crunchy.  My 8 year old daughter is a huge fan of pineapple and lime, and could not stop eating this slaw.  She had it for lunch and her afternoon snack in the same day.  Thank you Angie for challenging us to do something new, and I am so happy I have another side my little ones will eat up 😀  Enjoy!

    This sounds really good. He-Man loves slaw so, am saving this in my recipe folder for a day I feel like making him slaw instead of picking it up from the deli like I normally do.

    I think I’ve told you before…but I love the color of your daughter’s hair! Gorgeous!! Fair warning. I’ll probably say it every time I see it. 🙂

    Antonia, I love this recipe! Just last week I was searching the internet for a healthier (non-creamy) slaw recipe. I’m going to be making pulled pork and I wanted a lighter side. I’m going to give this recipe a try, talk about perfect timing 🙂

    Oh, that sounds good, Antonia. I like the combination of ingredients. I’d never think to put those together. I printed this off and will definitely try it. It’s going to be too strange for my husband (Mr. Bland Palate) so I’ll get to eat it all. 😀 Have a great end to your week!

    I love many types of slaw. Antonia, but I’ve never tried a pineapple and lime flavoured one. The dressing sounds wonderful – no wonder your daughter loves it! 🙂

      Thank you Millie! My daughter is a huge fan of lime and pineapple, and so this is right up her alley. I think she loves the sweetness of it too 😉 Have a fantastic Friday!

    Delicious! I know coz I did make something similar, except yours is far superior! That dressing, to start with, is what’s going to replace my mayo-based from now on. Superb idea using puréed pineapple! 👏👏 And where did you get that bowl from? So cute! 😄

      You are so sweet Angie, thank you! I bet your slaw is delicious! That’s a good idea. I might try using less or no water next time when I puree, to see if it is creamier 😀 It is a wet slaw, but the ingredients hold up very well to it 😀 I found that bowl last year at Marshalls, and have been waiting for an opportunity to use it 😀 It is actually a measuring bowl, believe it or not. I am so happy I finally got to use it 😀 Thanks and have a wonderful weekend!

    I love all the ingredients. I bet this tastes really delicious! 😀
