Greek Cabbage Salad - Lahanosalata (vinegar coleslaw)
Description
The Greek Cabbage Salad (Lahanosalata) centers on finely shredded white cabbage combined with grated carrot and thinly sliced tomato, green bell pepper, and red onion. This mixture is seasoned with dried oregano, kosher salt, and freshly ground pepper before being drizzled with quality olive oil and red wine vinegar. Mixing and massaging the cabbage helps break down its fibrous texture, allowing it to absorb the dressing fully.
After thorough mixing, the salad is refrigerated for about an hour to marinate, allowing the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften further. The result is a crisp yet tender coleslaw with a tangy, herbaceous, and slightly acidic profile typical of Greek cuisine.
This salad makes a refreshing side dish for grilled meats, seafood, or as part of a meze platter, providing a crunchy and flavorful vegetable component that complements rich or heavy main dishes.
Ingredients
- ⅓ large cabbage about 300 grams / 10.6 oz, white
- 1 small tomato
- ½ green bell pepper
- 1 small carrot
- ½ small red onion
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Instructions
- Finely shred the cabbage and place in a bowl. Cut off the tips of the carrot. Peel and discard its outer skin and grate it using a box grater. Place in the bowl.
- Cut off the stem and bottom of the tomato and cut in half. Then cut each half into thin slices. Place in the bowl as well.
- Cut the onion and bell pepper into thin slices as well and place in the bowl with the remaining ingredients.
- Add the dried oregano and season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Drizzle the olive oil and vinegar all over, and then mix the salad very well for 1-2 minutes with your hands. Rub and massage the cabbage to soften it and help the flavors blend together.
- Let the salad sit in the fridge for about 1 hour to marinade, before serving.
