This Greek cabbage salad, or lahanosalata, combines finely shredded cabbage, carrot and parsley with a simple olive oil and vinegar dressing. Crisp, fresh and easy to prepare, it’s perfect alongside grilled or roasted meats.
Remove the tough outer leaves and core from the cabbage, then finely shred it with a sharp knife or food processor.
4 cups cabbage
Grate the carrot and finely chop the parsley.
Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper together in a small bowl.
1 carrot
Add the cabbage, carrot and parsley to a large bowl. Pour over the dressing and toss well to combine. Serve immediately.
2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley

Notes
Make ahead: Prepare the cabbage, carrot and parsley ahead of time and refrigerate them in an airtight container. Keep the dressing separate and toss just before serving.
Variations: Add some red cabbage for extra colour and crunch, or finish with crumbled feta or sliced spring onions.
