Yogurt Pineapple Coleslaw Recipe
Description
The coleslaw dressing blends crushed pineapple with plain Greek yogurt, fresh lime zest and juice, and sugar to create a bright and creamy base. A touch of kosher salt balances the flavors, and optional crushed red pepper flakes and minced serrano pepper add heat for those who prefer a spicy kick. The combination of sweet pineapple and cooling yogurt contrasts with the slight spice for an appealing flavor profile.
Folded into a bagged, pre-shredded coleslaw mix, this recipe ensures convenience and consistent texture. The slaw should be chilled before serving to allow flavors to meld and the salad to firm up. Stirring just before serving helps redistribute the dressing and drains any excess liquid pooled at the bottom.
Ideal as a side dish, it complements barbecue, grilled meats, or spicy entrees, offering a sweet and creamy counterpoint. Adjust the heat by omitting pepper flakes or serrano chile according to taste.
