Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, and thinly sliced red bell pepper.
2. Add the diced pineapple and toss everything together until evenly mixed. Sprinkle in cilantro if using.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
4. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until the slaw is evenly coated.

Notes
For extra crunch, add sliced green onions or toasted almonds.
Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor, but be sure to drain canned pineapple well.
This slaw pairs perfectly with grilled meats, fish tacos, or pulled pork sandwiches.
For a lighter version, substitute half of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt.
