Ingredients

  • Cabbage - green or purple
  • Herbs
  • Some type of onion
  • Lemons and/or limes
  • White sugar
  • Salt
  • White vinegar
  • Olive oil

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!
