In a large bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage and sea salt. Knead the cabbage with your hands for 3-5 minutes, until it begins to soften and release some of its juices. This process helps to tenderize the cabbage and enhance its flavor. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Before serving, give the salad another gentle toss. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding a pinch of salt or a drizzle of honey to suit your preference. (Prep time: 1 minute)
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding toasted nuts (such as walnuts or pecans) or dried cranberries to the salad.
If you don't have white balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar can be used as a substitute. Adjust the amount of honey to balance the acidity.
Feel free to experiment with different types of apples to find your favorite combination of sweetness and tartness.
This salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will continue to develop over time.
