GARLIC & ONION:

  • Both of them add a good and natural taste. They add a rich taste to the cabbage. Without heavy ingredients, they give a strong taste. Alternatives for both ingredients include onion and garlic powder.

LOW-FAT CHEESE:

  • When we use it, it gives low WW points. It also melts in a nice manner. It is also useful in combining all the ingredients. For a substitute, you can use any type of low-fat cheese.
