This was a wonderful side dish-- kind of reminded me of wilted lettuce salad, but with the freshness and crunch of cabbage. My husband requested this for next time we have bratwursts, saying he would prefer it on the roll over the usual sauerkraut. I served it tonight with turkey kielbasa, sweet corn, and tomato slices, for a quick, easy delicious meal.
