Cabbage and peas with tarragon

     A great thing about raw recipes is that they are so flexible. If you decide to leave out an ingredient that you don't like, the soufflé won't collapse, figuratively speaking. Play around with it, experiment, and enjoy eating your mistakes.

• 2 cups diced green and/or red cabbage
• ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
