Lahanosalata (Greek Cabbage Slaw / Salad) Recipe

This is a very fresh-tasting cabbage salad - very unlike the slaws you're probably used to. Comes together in no time at all (especially if you use one of those bags of slaw mixes).

Ingredients
  

  • 1 head light green cabbage, about 1 . 5 lbs
  • 2 cups grated carrots (grated on large holes of box grater)
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (or to taste)
  • salt
  • 1 very finely minced garlic clove (optional)
  • feta cheese (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Core the cabbage and shred as for making traditional coleslaw.
  • Put the cabbage and carrot in a large bowl. Toss well.
  • In a small bowl mix the olive oil, lemon juice and garlic (if using).
  • Add salt to taste.
  • Just prior to serving, pour over the salad and toss to coat.
  • Adjust seasonings and olive oil or lemon juice as needed.
  • Note: This is really lovely served with a generous hunk of feta cheese - either crumbled in, or served alongside so you can nibble on pieces of creamy cheese between bites of crispy salad.
