Step 1

Toss cabbage, sugar, 1 tsp. salt, and ¼ tsp. pepper in a large bowl, cover, and let sit at room temperature 30 minutes to allow cabbage to soften (or cover and chill up to 2 hours).

Step 2

Add onion, lemon juice, oil, and vinegar to cabbage and toss to coat. Let sit, uncovered, at room temperature 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, cilantro, mint, and pomegranate seeds and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper as needed.
