RED CABBAGE, FETA & OLIVE SALAD

I had to make this salad two days in a row. When I got home from work yesterday, my husband asked me where I'd hidden the leftovers from the night before because he wanted them for lunch. Well, I'd taken them with me for MY lunch -- so I made another batch last night to go with our chili. The night before that I'd served it with shredded chicken Bobbie-Q (see my recipes) over mashed potatoes. There was a bit left over last night -- and I made sure to leave it for my husband. I brought peanut butter & a cucumber for my lunch instead. sigh Anyway, if you do have any of this salad left, use it by the next day.

This is a really morish salad, rich in flavour. It is great served with just about anything! And an all time favourite of many to whom I have served it too. Also a good salad to prepare in advance - infact it's better if it is - (the 'older' it gets, the better it gets!!!!)

Time 15m

Yield 1 large quantity of Red Cabbage Salad, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1/2 head red cabbage, finely shredded
1 red capsicum, sliced
1/2 green capsicum, sliced
200 g sliced black olives
1 red onion, thinly sliced
spring onion, thinly sliced
200 g feta cheese, crumbled (or more according to taste)
cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup light olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
1 garlic clove, crushed (optional)
1 teaspoon prepared mustard

Steps:

Combine all salad ingredients together- one or two at a time- EXCEPT the Cherry Tomatoes and toss WELL.
Combine all DRESSING ingredients together in jar or bottle and shake well, and taste.
Drizzle dressing a little at a time over salad, and toss well to coat the salad evenly.
Add the halved Cherry Tomatos last.

Tips:

Choose the right cabbage: For this salad, it's best to use red cabbage, as it has a slightly sweeter and more delicate flavor than green cabbage.
Shred the cabbage finely: This will help the cabbage absorb the dressing and make the salad easier to eat.
Use a sharp knife to slice the olives: This will prevent them from becoming crushed.
Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way, so start with a small amount and add more to taste.
Let the salad sit for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together.

This red cabbage, feta, and olive salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. The next time you are looking for a new and healthy salad recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed.
