Pineapple Slaw
This is a delicious, simple slaw made using cabbage and carrots tossed in a homemade mayonnaise dressing – and you will love the little sweet bites of pineapple in each mouthful. This recipe will serve 4 people as a side salad option, but you can easily double up the ingredients to make a larger batch for a BBQ or potluck.

Pineapple Slaw
Equipment
Ingredients
- For the homemade mayonnaise:
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 150 light olive oil
- Generous pinch sea salt
- For the pineapple slaw:
- 7 oz white cabbage very thinly sliced
- 1.8 oz carrot peeled and sliced matchstick-thin
- 3.5 oz unsweetened canned pineapple drained and diced
- 2.9 oz homemade mayonnaise or store-bought mayo
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp Swerve® confectioners’ sweetener
- Chopped herbs or salad onions to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start with homemade mayonnaise (or store-bought). Combine the egg yolk, mustard, and vinegar in a small bowl.
- Gradually drizzle in the olive oil while you mix using an electric hand mixer or immersion blender. If you do not have one, you can whisk the mixture using a small whisk, but this will take a little longer. The mixture will eventually become a thick, creamy mayonnaise – but it is essential to add the oil in gradually to avoid
the mixture splitting. - Season with salt as needed, then set 9 oz aside for use in this slaw. You can store the remaining mayonnaise in the fridge for other use (but it should be used within 3 days).
- Prepare your ingredients: slice the cabbage very thin, slice the carrot into matchstick-thin pieces and chop the drained, canned pineapple as small as possible.
- Place all the ingredients into a large bowl and add the mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar.
- Toss well to combine and taste the slaw to see if you want it sweeter. If you do, sprinkle in a teaspoon of sifted confectioners’ Swerve® and mix well to combine.
- Transfer the slaw into your serving bowl and sprinkle on some chopped herbs (or the green ends of salad onions, as pictured) for a pretty presentation.
