Bonus Ideas
I really enjoy using cabbage in salads, and I'll often slice red/purple cabbage and dip it in ranch dressing for a quick snack! Of course, since I'm a Trim Healthy Mama I anchor my meals and snacks with protein, but cabbage can be pretty simple and tasty!
I've also recently been experimenting with using cabbage instead of noodles in lasagna – it sounds a little interesting, but it works! I boil the cabbage head for about 35 minutes, let it cool, then pull off the cabbage leaves and layer it in the lasagna in place of noodles. This has worked well with green cabbage, but I haven't tried it with purple cabbage yet. I also make sure I core the cabbage and discard the hard center.
I also like to sauté sliced cabbage in bacon grease with salt and pepper – so simple, but so tasty!
