- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Coleslaw
- 20 ounces pineapple tidbits (canned, drained)
- 14-16 ounces coleslaw mix
- 2 green onions, diced

Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, reserved pineapple juice, freshly squeezed lime juice, salt, pepper, and chopped fresh cilantro until smooth and well combined.
- Combine coleslaw ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the coleslaw mix, pineapple tidbits, diced green onions, and diced jalapeno to create a colorful and textured base.
- Dress the coleslaw: Drizzle the prepared dressing evenly over the coleslaw mixture, then toss thoroughly to ensure every ingredient is coated with the flavorful dressing.
