Lahanosalata (Greek Cabbage Slaw / Salad)

"This is a very fresh-tasting cabbage salad - very unlike the slaws you're probably used to. Comes together in no time at all (especially if you use one of those bags of slaw mixes)."

directions

  • Core the cabbage and shred as for making traditional coleslaw.
  • Put the cabbage and carrot in a large bowl. Toss well.
  • In a small bowl mix the olive oil, lemon juice and garlic (if using).
  • Add salt to taste.
  • Just prior to serving, pour over the salad and toss to coat.
  • Adjust seasonings and olive oil or lemon juice as needed.
  • Note: This is really lovely served with a generous hunk of feta cheese - either crumbled in, or served alongside so you can nibble on pieces of creamy cheese between bites of crispy salad.

  1. I was looking to make a slaw without mayo and stumbled upon this recipe. Let me just say that my BF and I ate the whole thing in one day! We just couldn't get enough. Next summer this will be my go-to slaw for potlucks and BBQ's. I very highly recommend this recipe to everyone. Thank you evelyn.
     
  2. Deliciously fresh, quick and different! Went nicely with our Greek meal. **Made for ZWT4**.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
