Skinny Hawaiian Slaw

This slaw tastes every bit as amazing, bright, and fun as it looks.

Don't let the pineapple throw you. Not for even a second.

What a perfect side dish to any Hawaiian, tropical, or asian inspired meal. And super easy and fast to toss together too!

When mixing this up earlier today, I totally found myself takes bites out of the bowl and looking for reasons to taste test. Over and over again...

Oh. Did I cut my carrots into cute little hearts? Why... yes. Yes, I did!

Am I crazy? Why... yes. Yes, I am!

Seriously though, you can obviously use any sort cut of carrot that tickles your fancy. Chopped, grated, sliced, shaped, etc. I was just in an overly cute and creative mood. Heart shaped carrots make me smile.
