Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Napa cabbage
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
Instructions
Start by washing the head of Napa cabbage thoroughly under cold running water.
Slice the Napa cabbage into thin strips, discarding the core. Place the sliced cabbage into a large salad bowl.
Rinse and halve the cherry tomatoes. Add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin slices; then add to the bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the salad.
Slice the Kalamata olives in half lengthwise and add them to the bowl.
Crumble the feta cheese into the salad bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl.
Toss everything together gently to ensure the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and use it as a garnish on top of the salad before serving.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
