Coleslaw Surprise - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups grated cabbage (I prefer grated to shredded but thinly shredded would work also)
1 cup chopped unpeeled apple
1 cup thinly sliced celery
1/2 cup pecans (these are optional but I love them in this dish)
1 (8 ounce) container soft cream cheese (the regular cream cheese might be too firm..haven't tried it so I don't know for sure)
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, well drained
2 -3 tablespoons mayonnaise (you may need it to get the right consistency) (optional)

Preparation

Mix together cabbage, apples, celery and nuts.
In a separate bowl, combine cream cheese and pineapple.
Add mayonnaise, if desired.
Fold cream cheese dressing into slaw mixture.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
