Begin by removing the outer leaves of the savoy cabbage and slicing it into thin ribbons. Next, grate one medium carrot using a box grater and thinly slice one red bell pepper. Combine all the prepared vegetables in a large mixing bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of freshly grated ginger. Add 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Blend until smooth.

Pour the zesty ginger dressing over the bowl of sliced savoy cabbage, grated carrot, and bell pepper. Gently toss to coat the vegetables evenly.

Taste the salad and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Mix again to distribute the seasonings evenly.

Allow the salad to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
