A great lunch for me. I made a couple of simple substitutions to use what I already had on hand. Instead of the purple cabbage only I used some coleslaw mix I already had. Instead of the cream cheese mixture I used vegetable garden cream cheese that I already had on hand. Great recipe, thanks for sharing!Reply
