Simplicity at its best, this cabbage salad is a mainstay in Greek homes, especially in winter. The crunchy shredded cabbage takes center stage and I prefer to mix in some carrot, too, though this is optional.

LAHANOSALATA (GREEK CABBAGE SLAW / SALAD)

Lahanosalata (Greek Cabbage Slaw / Salad) image

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).

Time 10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

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)

Steps:

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.

Tips:

Choose the right cabbage: Use a firm, fresh head of green or red cabbage for the best flavor and texture.
Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the cabbage absorb the dressing more easily.
Use a flavorful vinegar: A good-quality red or white wine vinegar will add a nice tang to the salad.
Don't skimp on the olive oil: A good amount of olive oil will help to emulsify the dressing and make it creamy.
Add some fresh herbs: Fresh dill, parsley, or mint will add a pop of flavor to the salad.
Season to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Conclusion:

Lahanosalata is a delicious and refreshing Greek cabbage salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bright flavors and crunchy texture, lahanosalata is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
