Ingredients:

Cabbage: With 1 gram of fiber for every 10 calories, cabbage is so good for your digestion. It’s also full of nutrients that can help with your stomach and intestine health.

Olive: Very high in vitamin E and other powerful antioxidants, olives are so good for you and are such a great addition to any recipe.

To a large bowl add the shredded cabbage and sprinkle over the salt. Use your hands to massage the cabbage with the salt for a few minutes – this helps to just slightly soften the cabbage.
To the cabbage add all of the remaining ingredients (pepper, olives, feta, dill, olive oil, red wine vinegar and dried oregano) and toss well. Serve and enjoy!

What is a traditional Greek salad made of? Red onion, green pepper, olives, feta, tomatoes, and cucumber, with a red wine vinegar and oregano dressing. It’s fresh, and it’s delicious.

What is the difference between coleslaw and cabbage? Coleslaw is made from cabbage and often includes other shredded veggies like carrots and a creamy or vinegar-based dressing.

Why is my Greek salad watery? Cucumbers hold onto a ton of moisture, as do tomatoes. It’s best if you make Greek salad fresh to avoid it getting too watery.

Are olives and feta healthy? Like anything, in moderation. Olives provide nutrients and antioxidants, while feta provides calcium and a series of vitamins.
