This is one of my favorite cole slaw flavors, adjusted for the tropics. During one of our visits to Hawaii I wanted to create an easy to assemble dressing, and decided to use Miracle Whip instead of the mayonnaise/sugar/vinegar combination I normally use. The result is a light, creamy sweet dressing.
