pineapple coleslaw

We have a pretty decent coleslaw recipe. But one day, my husband said, "it needs some kick to it" and then he took out a can of pineapples and mixed it with the slaw -- it was a big HIT! The pineapple coleslaw tasted much better than the original recipe and it brought back memories from all the awesome food we ate in Hawaii.

Coleslaw mix - 1 packet [16 oz] (or cabbage 1 small & carrots 2) **see TIPS

• Add 1/4 sugar first, and add more until it's sweet enough for you.
