pineapple coleslaw
This slaw is tossed with the most divine habanera lime dressing which can be made a day ahead & stored in a sealed container in the fridge. Although coleslaw looks its prettiest just after it’s made, the flavor & texture is ultimately better two to three hours later – even the next day
