Sally Bridewell

I added some chicken pieces to this and vinegar liked the taste a bunch.

Nancy Sheely

One of my favorite salads of all time, I'll be bringing this to the gym tomorrow for a snack ;)

Samara Acar

Not sure what the sugar was for so didn't bother to add it, the lemon dressing was perfectly fine on it's own.

Regan Sepulbeda

Didn't like how zesty it turned out but it wasn't bad thought I like cabbage cups a lot more.

Antonia Helgeson

This and some cheesy garlic bread goes so well together I'd totally recommend it.

India Durecki

Didn't add the carrots and instead tossed in some fresh cherry tomatos.

Madyson Bigam

Zesty and flavorful exactly what I wanted for a salad to be.

Samira Weener

The pecans don't do it any favors so I won't be adding them again but the craisins make it very scrumptious!

Athina

I love it! So healthy and delicious!
