Total Time: 2 hrs 20 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients

• 1/2 small head of cabbage, shredded small
• 1 cup pineapple, chopped into small slivers
• 2 tablespoons onions, sliced into small thin slivers
• 1 fresh lemon, juice of
• 1/3 cup coconut oil, i use spectrum organic
• 1 teaspoon vinegar, i use bragg's apple cider vinegar
• 1/3 cup agave nectar, i use madhava
• 1 teaspoon poppy seed
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise, i use blue plate
• 1/4 teaspoon salt, i use pink himalayan sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper, fresh ground to taste
• 1 teaspoon lemon basil (optional)

Recipe

• 1 chop cabbage: i cut my half head in half again. and then i cut each quarter into 1-inch strips. these are what i shred by cutting in 1/8 inch slices with a big knife. makes for easy eating. place in a large mixing bowl and break up any big pieces with your hands.
• 2 cut up pineapple: i do something similar with the pineapple. what you are looking for are 1/2 inch slivers a bit bigger around than matchsticks. add into the bowl with the cabbage and give it mix again. i use my hands (which are sterile) to let the flavors begin to blend right away.
• 3 chop onion into small thin slivers (no longer than 1/2 inch) and mix in with the cabbage and pineapple. put a lid on this and put aside.
• 4 note: make sure your coconut oil is in liquid form. if it is firm, heat slightly.
• 5 make dressing: squeeze lemon juice into medium bowl. whisk together with all remaining ingredients except mayonnaise and lemon basil.
• 6 taste for a nice sweet & sour balance. add more vinegar or agave as needed to get a good blend and balance.
• 7 now whisk in your mayonnaise. make sure you get it smooth.
• 8 pour the dressing over the cabbage, pineapple, and onions. mix thoroughly.
• 9 taste.
• 10 at this point i always add a bit more mayonnaise and blend it inches i don't know why. i just love mayonnaise. :).
• 11 if you like basil, here is where you add it. the lemon basil makes such a nice addition but is not necessary to the outcome really. i do not chop with a knife. i tear the basil into small bits and gently blend into the slaw.
• 12 now place your slaw (after you test it one more time, ha ha) in a pretty serving bowl, cover and place in the fridge and chill for at least 2 hours.
• 13 serve to family and friends and enjoy your magic!
