- 1 Tbsp honey (or sugar)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- Few pinches black pepper
Instructions

Notes
- *Radicchio is a very nutritious addition to this salad; however, it tastes bitter and some people don’t prefer it so I listed it as optional. I think the bitterness is offset by the sweetness of the cabbage and the dressing, so it does not taste harsh. I also love the boost of nutrition and vitamin K it provides, as well, so I personally love to add it.
- Any leftover dressing will stay fresh in the refrigerator for at least a week.
- When you first add the cabbage in step 1, you can squeeze it a few times (with clean hands) to soften it up and make it more tender. Then proceed with adding the other ingredients.
