Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head (about 1.5 lbs) green cabbage
- 2 medium carrot
- 3 stalks green onions
- 0.25 cup, finely chopped fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon oregano (dried)
- 0.5 cup, crumbled (optional) optional feta cheese
Instructions
Remove any tough outer leaves from the cabbage and cut it into quarters. Remove the core.
Shred the cabbage finely using a knife, mandoline, or food processor. Place the shredded cabbage into a large bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots. Add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Finely slice the green onions (both the white and green parts). Add them to the bowl.
Add the finely chopped parsley to the vegetable mixture.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if desired.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but recommended for enhanced flavor.
Before serving, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese if desired.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a starter, side dish, or light main course.
