Mediterranean Coleslaw
Description
The coleslaw features shredded cabbage and carrots as a crunchy base, enhanced with diced red bell pepper, sliced black olives, banana pepper rings, and crumbled feta cheese. Chopped parsley adds a fresh herb note. The dressing is a lemon garlic vinaigrette blending olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, and seasonings, whisked or shaken until smooth.
After combining all ingredients in a large bowl and tossing with the vinaigrette, the coleslaw rests for 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften slightly under the dressing. This gives a balanced acidity from lemon and subtle garlic, complementing the creamy feta and briny olives and peppers.
This salad fits well as a side dish for Mediterranean or grilled meals, providing a crisp, flavorful contrast. Tossing again before serving ensures even dressing distribution.
