What a great family meal that is not only delicious and satisfying, but just 4 Points + per serving. It's sweet and sour taste is reminiscent of traditional stuffed cabbage rolls, but this saute is a lot less work.

This deliciously healthy and low calorie Stuffed Cabbage Saute is a variation of traditional stuffed cabbage rolls, which is a popular Polish recipe. However, making stuffed cabbage rolls can be a pesky and time consuming task, but my simpler sautr version in all prepared in one pot making it an easy Weight Watchers recipe that anyone can successfully prepare. It's low in fat, high in fiber and protein, and has that wonderful sweet and sour taste that I've always adored in stuffed cabbage rolls. And at just 4 Points + per serving, it's a great way to fill up while still staying within your Weight Watchers Points budget. This easy and flavorful dish was a huge hit at my house and something I'll be making again and again. Enjoy!
