How To Make grandma's banana - pineapple coleslaw

Step 1Shred or chop the cabbage, put in large bowl or pan for mixing salad together. Set aside.

Step 2put pineapple and chopped Mandarin oranges in a bowl (including juices). Add frozen orange juice, mayonnaise and brown sugar. Stir well until a nice sauce is made. Fold in the Cool Whip. Chop up the bananas and toss around in the fruits and juices (this helps meld flavors and prevent bananas from browning)

Step 3Add the cabbage and red and green bell peppers. Stir and toss together until mixed well. Put in a nice serving container. Cover. Refrigerate at least 20 minutes. Just before serving: stir and toss salad to give it a fresh mixed look. Serve family style or in little dishes. *** You can garnish with maraschino cherries and Mandarin oranges if desired.
