Blake and I do Friday night dinners with our best friends Jeff and Abbie (and their little kiddos) every week. Abbie inspired me to post this recipe as she made something very similar the other week. Abbie is the type of person who never measures anything, but her food ALWAYS turns out amazing. We always joke that she’d have the worst food blog ever because of this 😛 But seriously, this is a spin off of her pineapple coleslaw that’s made paleotized (<— needs to be a word). 

I decided I was going to make my own “paleo mayo.” I based it off of Paleoleap’s recipe. It’s really a base of egg yolks, coconut oil, and EVOO. It takes a lot of elbow power because you GOTTA KEEP WHISKING. Also- mine turned out really yellow due to the GORGEOUS farm eggs I got from Blake’s dad’s farm! 

BOOM.

If you don’t care about paleotizing your recipe, feel free to just use regular mayo! That’s what Abbie uses in her and it tastes GREAT. 

I suggest using fresh pineapple over canned because, uh, it’s way better.

Feel free to add in some nuts or seeds to this recipe. I kept it simple, but some crunch would have been nice.

I take that back.

I added bacon at the last minute.
