Reviews

  1. Being Michiganders living near Frankenmuth, it's embarrassing to find this recipe through a Canadian! But, thanks for sharing--an easy, versatile recipe to adjust to one's tastes. Heed the advice to just coat the cabbage. It's easy to overdo adding too much dressing. Still turned out very tasty, but next time I'll pay attention better. Thanks--oh yes, we also love visiting Ontario because everyone is so much more polite than in Michigan. Another thank you for that!
