Preparation

• Shred the cabbage very thinly, put in a bowl, salt with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
• Squeeze with hands slightly to help salt to penetrate and soften the cabbage, and aside for about 20-30 minutes.
• Add sugar and lemon juice--you need to try how sour and sweet you like it to be--it should be sweet but the sour taste should dominate.
• Put in dill and parsley, mix together, and serve.
  
• Can be made even hours ahead and served straight from the refrigerator, especially on a hot day, for instance with grilled meats.
