Love the colours and the flavours in this.
This looks and sounds fantastic.
I was looking for a recipe to go with salmon as I already had a head of purple cabbage and this was lovely! I doubled the honey (we LOVE honey) and used regular raisins that I had in the pantry. I literally could’ve eaten just this and left the rest of my dinner aside. Thank you!
Thanks all! So glad you are enjoying the recipe. Definitely a healthy staple – whether as a side or a lunch salad – in my own cooking routine.
