Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups tri-color coleslaw mix
  • 4 mini sweet peppers assorted colors, thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions finely sliced
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro
  • 4 slices fresh pineapple cut ¼-inch thick
  • Non-stick grilling spray such as PAM® Grilling Spray
  • 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce e.g., P.F. Chang's® Home Menu Teriyaki Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon grated ginger for a hint of spice
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds for a nutty crunch.

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Start by heating your grill or grilling pan over medium-high heat. Spray it lightly with non-stick grilling spray to avoid any sticking issues. Once it’s hot, place the pineapple slices on the grill.
  2. Cook the pineapple for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until you see beautiful grill marks and the natural sugars start to caramelize. Remove from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
  3. While the pineapple cools, grab your cutting board and chop the mini sweet peppers, green onions, and cilantro. Slice them all into bite-sized pieces. The colors will brighten up your dish immensely.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce and freshly squeezed lime juice. If you’re adding ginger, this is the moment to incorporate it to bring in that added zing.
  5. Add in the tri-color coleslaw mix to the bowl of dressing. Toss it until the cabbage is well-coated with the sauce. The colors will pop, and the flavors will begin to meld.
  6. Chop the grilled pineapple into small chunks. Fold it gently into the coleslaw mix along with the sweet peppers, green onions, and cilantro.
  7. Give your coleslaw a taste. If you think it needs more acidity, feel free to squeeze in more lime juice. If you like it sweeter, a dash more teriyaki sauce won’t hurt.
  8. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to develop and meld nicely. Alternatively, serve it right away for a fresh crunch.
