Healthy Sweet Slaw

This is such a pretty dish, and good for you. It's one you could take to a potluck and no one would look at it and think, "Oh, no. Health food." In fact, whenever I have taken it anywhere, folks request the recipe.

1 small head purple cabbage, grated (I use a food processor grater)
1 large carrot, grated
1/2 c. crushed pineapple, drained (reserve juice)
1/2 c. raisins
Mix these ingredients together in a bowl

Blend these to make a sauce:
1/2 c. reserved pineapple juice
1/4 c. honey or agave nectar
2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1/8 tsp. salt

Pour the sauce over the slaw and mix well. If it is not flavorful enough (this depends on the size of your cabbage), more sauce can be made and added. Sometimes, I will add a bit of sesame oil and some sesame seeds to the sauce, for a different flavor.
