Shred half of a large head of red cabbage finely and transfer to a large bowl.

Add half a tablespoon of salt and squeeze the juice of half a lemon onto the cabbage, massaging it in with hands.

Set the cabbage aside to soften.

Cut 5 small beets into quarters, then chop them in a food processor.

Dice 2 red bell peppers into small pieces, noting that green peppers are not a suitable substitute.

Slice and dice 1 red onion into small pieces.

Slice and dice 5 small red radishes into tiny cubes.

Chop 1 bunch of parsley finely.

Combine the cabbage, beets, bell peppers, onion, radishes, and parsley in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of pomegranate molasses, half a cup of olive oil, a heaping teaspoon of salt, and the juice of a small lemon until the salt dissolves.

Pour the dressing over the salad and mix for at least 5 minutes to combine the flavors.
