It was delicious! I didn’t have cabbage, so I shredded romaine, and I added hard boiled eggs for some protein. The dressing was by far the best part. Yum!! Great recipe.

This was so good! Even my kid who doesn’t like salad enjoyed it. We had to modify the peanut sauce a bit as my family prefers a thinner swine, but yum! Thanks for the great recipe!
