We just keep making these over and over again. Often we'll buy a bag of kaleslaw instead of making the shredded cabbage slaw, to save time, but this dinner never lets us down!
0 HelpfulMade as bowls With brown rice instead of wraps, doubled the peanut sauce for my sauce loving family, and served with the smoothie from the paleo version. Easy, tasty and everyone ate it!
0 HelpfulMade the veggie version & the chicken wraps. Double the peanut to make on separate nights. Used red cabbage - yum.
0 HelpfulLove the peanut sauce. As per a previous review, we also added sriracha to it which really enhanced the flavor. We added less sugar to the cabbage slaw and it was not missed.
