Dressed with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and honey, this salad makes an amazing accompaniment for <a href="https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/sous-vide-pork-chop">pork chops</a> or <a href="https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/pork-belly-three-ways">belly</a>, though we love it with poultry as well.
