Instructions
This isn’t a recipe, it’s more of a formula.
Proportions can vary. Half of a head of cabbage makes a large amount, plenty for the week.
Add all vegetables and herbs into a big metal bowl. Juice the citrus, shake on the salt, pour in the sugar (just a dash), and add a splash of white vinegar. Use your hands to massage the acid, salt, and sugar in and break down the cabbage a bit. Taste and adjust by adding more salt, sugar, or acid as you go.
Optional: Mix olive oil in at the end for more of a ‘cabbage salad’ situation. If using as a slaw, you can leave the oil out. Keeps great in the fridge for a few days!
