I was initially skeptical about trying this recipe because I’m not the biggest fan of cabbage. However, I decided to give it a shot and used a bag of coleslaw mix, and I was pleasantly surprised. It was amazing!
My daughter and I decided to take it up a notch and added a little Yum Yum sauce to it, which turned out to be a fantastic idea. The combination of the coleslaw mix and the Yum Yum sauce added a delightful twist to the dish.
The recipe is incredibly simple and quick to prepare, making it perfect for a weeknight meal. I appreciated that it allowed me to enjoy a tasty and healthy option without spending hours in the kitchen.
If you’re hesitant about cabbage, as I was, don’t let that deter you from trying this recipe. You can always customize it with your favorite sauces to make it even more flavorful. I give it a solid five stars for its simplicity and the surprising deliciousness it offers!
