Creamy coleslaw is delicious on its own and one of my favorite toppings on a veggie burger. This simple side dish is easy to make and using the prepackaged mix makes it even simpler. When you salt the cabbage it releases some of it’s water, allowing the dressing to get absorbed and really cling to the slaw. The pineapple adds wonderful sweetness to this salad. Cole Slaw is something we feel comfortable buying at a store if we are pressed for time, but half the time we get it it has already gone a bit off. If you have the time, home-made is always nicer.
