Ingredients

Units Scale

Cabbage Salad

  • 4 cups chopped red cabbage
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 4 Persian cucumbers, small dice
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives (or 2 green onions)

Greek Dressing

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp coarse black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 6 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Sprinkle cabbage with 1 tsp salt, and massage gently for 2–3 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes, rinse, and drain thoroughly (salad spinner works great).
  3. Toss cabbage with the dressing. Add bell pepper, cucumber, chives, and mint, and combine gently.
  4. Enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Keep dressing separate if prepping in advance to prevent sogginess.
