Greek Cabbage Salad
Description
The Greek Cabbage Salad features a shredded green cabbage base gently softened by massaging with salt to reduce toughness while keeping a crisp bite. Fresh herbs like dill and green onion, combined with chopped black and green olives, impart Mediterranean flavors that mix well with the creamy crumbled feta cheese. Olive oil and red wine vinegar form a light dressing accented by dried oregano and black pepper, creating a refreshing and slightly tangy salad complementing richer main dishes.
Its balance of textures—crisp cabbage, briny olives, and rich feta—makes it suitable as a side salad alongside Greek chicken or souvlaki and can liven up a casual meal. The salad holds well for a few days refrigerated, allowing flavors to meld further.
Massaging the cabbage with salt not only softens it but helps draw out moisture, enhancing the overall texture. Use fresh dill and good quality olive oil for best results. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and consumed within three days.
Ingredients
- 1 green cabbage about 6-8 cups shredded, small-medium, shredded
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup black olive finely chopped
- 1/4 cup green olive finely chopped
- 6 green onion chopped thin
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 1/3 cup dill chopped, fresh
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp oregano dried
Instructions
- To a large bowl add the shredded cabbage and sprinkle over the salt. Use your hands to massage the cabbage with the salt for a few minutes - this helps to just slightly soften the cabbage.
- To the cabbage add all of the remaining ingredients (pepper, olives, feta, dill, olive oil, red wine vinegar and dried oregano) and toss well. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Massaging the cabbage with salt slightly softens its texture while retaining crispness.
- This salad pairs well with grilled meats like Greek Chicken Souvlaki.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
