Delicious variation of this favorite deli salad. Honey is absorbed more slowly than cane sugar, so this may be better tolerated by those who are more sensitive to ‘sugar highs.’ Also, for those who find white or red onions just too strong of a flavor, I’ve used green onion for a milder yet still ‘onion-y’ layer.
