Pineapple Walnut Coleslaw

Cabbage looks beautiful in the garden and it's quick and easy to harvest when you're ready for a fresh dish.  By mid-June, it was time for the red cabbage to come out to make room for summer crops.

Chef Megan McCarthy chose to put a twist on traditional coleslaw and added some pineapple for a refreshing summer flavor.  Take this one to the next bar-b-que and at least one dish on the table will be a healthy choice.

Chef Megan offered shortcuts such as buying shredded carrots and canned pineapple when you need to save some time.
