Method

  1. 1

    Wilt. Toss the cabbage with the salt and sugar, put it in the colander over the bowl and leave about 1 hour, pressing now and then, until it releases its water.

  2. 2

    Dress. Discard the liquid, wipe the bowl and whisk the mustard, honey, mayonnaise, chives and pepper in it.

  3. 3

    Chill. Stir in the cabbage (not rinsed) and chill 1 hour.

Storage

Keeps covered in the fridge for up to 2 days; stir before serving. Not suitable for freezing. Cool leftovers in a shallow container and refrigerate within 2 hours (within 1 hour on a day above 32°C).

EU nutrition claims

  • Low saturated fat: 0.6 g saturated fat per 100 g, 5.2% of energy (limits ≤ 1.5 g and ≤ 10%)
  • High fibre: 3.8 g fibre per 100 kcal (needs ≥ 3 g)

Per 100 g of the finished dish, worked out from the nutrition per serving and the lowest likely cooked weight (about 82 g a serving), so the true values are, if anything, lower. Thresholds from the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide
