What a clever take on coleslaw! The honey, apple and pineapple give it wonderful flavor, much lighter than traditional coleslaw. I had a fresh pineapple on hand, so I added about 1/2 cup of that, finely diced. I subbed cider vinegar for the white, but I'm sure it would be equally good either way. To make it a main dish salad, I chopped up a grilled chicken breast and added it in. A very delicious way to eat my fruits and vegetables, thank you!

We loved the flavor of this "sauce" for the coleslaw. We didn't want an overwhelming mayo flavor and this was perfect though I made some changes in the ingredients due to the items I had on hand. Unfortunately I didn't have pineapple juice or an apple but the juice would have been an excellent tropical addition. I added 2 green onions, utilizing all the green parts and the white part of one. I added 2 stalks of celery, finely sliced. I also had garlic rice vinegar so I substituted that as well. I added Mrs. Dash and salt in the seasonings. It was a great side dish to accompany our hamburgers. I highly recommend this recipe.

I LOVE this idea but I did a few modifications and I'm not sure it's even the same recipe anymore. I kept the ratio of cabbage, carrot and green apple but to keep the apple from turning brown I put it through the food processor with three cubes of pineapple juice (I freeze things like that in ice cube trays so they are always on hand). I swapped the white vinegar for cider vinegar and added a few tsp of lemon juice as well. I did not use honey (though I'm a big fan of raw honey) as I've had trouble in the past with a strange taste when mixing honey and fresh veggies or fruits so I kept the brown sugar and added in 1/2 tsp pure stevia extract (I use this in place of most sugar) and a tablespoon of apple juice concentrate to sweeten some more because it wasn't sweet enough. I also upped the mayo a bit because it wasn't "creamy" enough for me but I used a low fat type with olive oil for health reasons. I did add the salt and pepper though I was actually worried about that and finally, I tossed in some raisins (1/2 cup or so) and I couldn't stop eating it! Neither could my youngin! The apple really helps and the pineapple juice should not be optional. Next time I will try it with the stated amount of mayo and some silken tofu for extra protein and lower fat.

I made this for my family and new son-in-law. No one liked it. Thought it had a peculiar taste. If I made it again, I would obmit the honey. This is the first Allrecipes I did not like!

I'm not a big fan of coleslaw but i loved this one. It wasn't to mayonasie and i loved the apples. I didn't add the brown sugar because i'm trying to cut down on sugar and it was still good.

It was not wet enough, nor was it creamy enough. I dare say that it was also not sweet enough. I am a tough critic when it comes to coleslaw. I like my very wet, creamy and sweet. This was none of those. I almost doubled the sauce and it still was seriously lacking...for me( and my family)

I had to improvise because of lack of ingredients. I used red cabbage and did not add pineapple. I make this all the time now. I serve grilled pork chops over coleslaw and it complements the meat wonderfully. Thanks for the recipe.

I tried this since it got such great reviews, but I found it to be very bland....but since I don't make cole slaw very much, I wasn't sure what was missing. There definitely was NOT enough dressing to cover the slaw. I ended up adding quite a bit of celery salt and cinnamon. The cinnamon REALLY seems to pull the flavors together...but I'm not sure if it's going to be a crowd-pleaser tonight or not. I'll report back.

I skipped the pineapple juice (didn't have any), put about half the pepper in and added an extra TB or so of mayo. After those slight modifications, it came out great - very light and slightly sweet. I ate mine on BBQ beef sandwiches and it added JUST the right touch. Delicious!

Sweated the cabbage as suggested, but still ended up pretty watery in no time. All the same, I'll make it again to see if I can do it better; it was tasty nevertheless.

Loved it! Even my non-coleslaw eating husband liked it. I went ahead and used pineapple juice from from canned pineapple and added the pineapple chunks - nice addition!

This coleslaw is really tasty. I sort of blanched the vegetables a while before mixing with the sauce. I substituted apple cider vinegar for the white vinegar and it gave the dish an interesting twist. I left the skin on the apple and sliced it instead of shredding as it allows me to taste the apple. I had no problem using low-fat mayonnaise but I made sure to dissolve the sugar completely in the vinegar before adding other ingredients. This helps to eliminate the lumps of sugar if you mix everything all at once. I did not add the pineapple juice nor the salt as I felt the coleslaw was flavourful enough. Thanks for the recipe!

I added a small amount of canned pineapple instead of pineapple juice. I did not have honey on hand but used my gourmet standby: pancake syrup as a substitute. This was good and I'll make it again--possibly adding chopped red pepper for more color.

Delicious. I made some changes: double (at least) the dressing. Do NOT use low-fat mayonnaise (I should've known that) and mix mayo with brown sugar before adding liquids for creamier results (otherwise gets curdled appearance, even when using a whisk). I added pineapple tidbits. I left skins on apples (used 2) and chopped in shape similar to pineapple tidbits. I garnished with apples slices and pineapple tidbits on top so everyone would know the unusual ingredients were in there. Next time I might add FRESH parsley. Very yummy. Dressing was very light, nice alternative to the heavy mayo or the vinegar dressings.

I've made this recipe many times and my husband just loves it every time! The measurements are right on, as we don't particularly like goopy coleslaw. I never liked coleslaw before, but I really like this. We add raisins to make it a little sweeter. Thank you!
