Hot and fruity Caribbean coleslaw

A million miles away from those heavy creamy coleslaw's, this is one to wake up your taste buds. It’s fruity, hot and even healthy. I could eat this just on its own, it’s so delicious. And it’s a wonderful contrast to all that hot barbecued meat. Make a big bowlful!
