CALIFORNIA COLESLAW

I got this recipe from a diabetic cooking class I took. To me this is a very yummy coleslaw. I didn't even really like coleslaw until I had tried this recipe. The recipe calls for liquid sugar substitute to equal 1/4 cup sugar. We used 8 packets of Splenda during the cooking class.
