Lebanese Cabbage Salad
Description
This salad features a base of finely shredded green cabbage, diced tomatoes, chopped parsley, and sliced green onions, which provide a mix of crisp textures and fresh flavors. The dressing blends extra virgin olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, pressed garlic, dried mint, and a touch of salt, sometimes enhanced with sumac to add a slightly tangy depth. After tossing the vegetables in the dressing, the salad can be served immediately for a bright crunch or chilled for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld.
The tartness of lemon juice complements the earthy cabbage and herbs, while garlic and mint bring aromatic complexity. This simple preparation is ideal as a side dish or picnic salad, pairing well with grilled meats or other Lebanese specialties.
Leftover salad can be stored in an airtight container and will keep for a few days, though it is freshest eaten the same day.
