About this recipe:

This simple salad is loaded with nutrients, antioxidants and vitamin C - just in time to fight off the flu!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups of shredded cabbage (one bag of 16oz.)
  • 2 medium carrots peeled and grated
  • 3 TBSP. Kosterina Original Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 TBSP. fresh lemon juice
  • 1 medium garlic clove, passed through the garlic press
  • ½ tsp. sea salt
  • white pepper, (optional)
  • 5-6 Kosterina Greek Herb Kalamata Olives (optional)

Directions

  1. Shred cabbage very thinly with a knife or using a shredder. Soak it in water, rinse and dry well.  (You can also buy it already shredded, and pre-washed.) 
  2. Peel and shred the carrots.
  3. In a jar or in a small bowl mix the Kosterina Original Extra Virgin Olive Oil, lemon juice and minced garlic.
  4. Place the shredded cabbage and carrots in a large bowl, pour the dressing and add the salt. Toss the salad very well - it will reduce in volume as it sits in the dressing. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  5. Add the olives on top, a few slices of lemon and serve next to a simple grilled protein or rotisserie chicken.
