Instructions

Measure out your miniature marshmallows. You need 16 ounces.
Add the grated cabbage, pineapple chunks, and marshmallows to your big bowl.
Scoop in 1 cup of Miracle Whip.
Mix everything together really well. Use a big spoon or your hands if you prefer.
Keep stirring until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
That’s it! Your Hawaiian coleslaw is ready to serve. You can eat it right away, but it tastes even better if you let it chill in the fridge for an hour or two first.
Tips, Tricks & Storing
Make your Hawaiian coleslaw ahead of time. This lets the flavors mix and get better. Put it in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.
Don’t want soggy coleslaw? Drain the pineapple chunks well. You can even pat them dry with paper towels.
Try adding some extras for more crunch and flavor:
- Chopped macadamia nuts
- Shredded carrots
- Sliced green onions
Want a lighter version? Use low-fat Miracle Whip or Greek yogurt instead of regular Miracle Whip.
Store your coleslaw in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay fresh for 3-4 days. Give it a good stir before serving.
If the coleslaw seems dry after storing, add a little more Miracle Whip to freshen it up.
For best results, don’t freeze this coleslaw. The texture of the cabbage and marshmallows changes when thawed.
Try serving your Hawaiian coleslaw with:
- Grilled chicken
- Pulled pork sandwiches
- BBQ ribs
