Substitutions
Substitute Napa cabbage for the green or purple cabbage. Or substitute any other vegetable that can be shredded (brussels sprouts, beets, radish).

Instead of carrots, use another shredded vegetable of choice.

Substitute lime or orange juice in place of lemon juice.

Instead of parsley, use cilantro, chives, green onion, or basil.

Substitute dried, naturally sweetened cranberries, or other dried fruit of your choice in place of raisins.
