Directions

  1. Shred or finely chop the cabbage and place in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, and sugar until smooth.
  3. Pour dressing over cabbage and toss well to coat.
  4. Add crushed pineapple if using — fold in gently.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness, salt, or vinegar to preference.
  6. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
Tip: Better made a day ahead — the cabbage softens and the flavors meld overnight.
