Cole Slaw

[SWoodyWhite]

Dear Mr. Brown (he wrote in an obsequious manner):

I have been instructed to make cole slaw for a family gathering this Saturday. Your recipe (available on the DVD Tossed Around) sounds exactly like what I want, particularly with the dressing (1/2 c buttermilk, 4 T plain yogurt, 4 T mayo, 1 T pickle juice, plus seasonings, for those who haven't paid attention).

However, my partner's daughter, who is hosting the gathering, is insisting that I replicate, to some degree, her mother's recipe, which includes pineapple bits and lemon juice. How do you suggest adjusting your recipe, with the additional acidic liquid added?

Replace the pickle juice with pineapple juice and add chunks at will. Then just squeeze on a little lemon juice...she'll be happy as a clam.
