Ingredients
Scale
Salad Base
- 1 small-medium green cabbage, shredded (about 6–8 cups shredded)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Add-ins
- 1/4 cup finely chopped black olives
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green olives
- 6 green onions, chopped thin
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh dill
Dressing
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Instructions
- Massage the cabbage: Place the shredded cabbage in a large bowl and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Using your hands, massage the cabbage for several minutes until it softens slightly. This step helps to break down the cabbage for a tender texture while retaining crunch.
- Add remaining ingredients: To the massaged cabbage, add 1/2 teaspoon pepper, chopped black and green olives, chopped green onions, crumbled feta cheese, fresh dill, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and dried oregano. Toss everything thoroughly to combine and evenly coat the salad with the dressing.
- Serve and enjoy: Once tossed, the salad is ready to serve immediately. It can also be chilled briefly for enhanced flavors. Enjoy as a refreshing side dish to your favorite Mediterranean or grilled meals.
Notes
- For a softer salad, let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
- Use fresh dill for best flavor; substitute with dried dill if necessary but use less (about 1 tablespoon).
- Adjust the amount of vinegar and olive oil to taste for a more tangy or oily dressing.
- This salad keeps well and can be refrigerated for up to 2 days, but is best enjoyed fresh for optimal crunch.
- For added texture, consider topping with toasted pine nuts or sunflower seeds.
