Cabbage Is Having a Moment In The Spotlight
The humble cruciferous vegetable has had a major glowup and it's the new trendy kid on the block. I'm sharing my favorite recipes to enjoy it that are tasty, full of flavor, and craveworthy!
Cabbage Recipes Using a Bag of Cole Slaw
Cabbage TIPS:
Save chopping time and pick up a bag of shredded cabbage or cole slaw mix so that you can dump-and-go! Toss or save the actual salad dressing for another day. These recipes just need the shredded veg, not the dressing.
Bagged cabbage blends with other veggies are fine. These recipes are not so precious that using red (purple) vs. green cabbage matters. Or if there are some carrots in it, great. Trader Joe’s has a bagged blend called ‘Cruciferous Blend’ that I really like which is, you guessed it, a blend of heartiness. It all wilts down and cooks down basically the same.
