Ingredients
1 head green cabbage, finely chopped (about 6 cups)
1 15-oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1 small cucumber, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 red onion, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Instructions
Wash and finely chop the cabbage into thin slices.
Dice the cucumber and red bell pepper, and grate the red onion.
In a large bowl, combine chopped cabbage, chickpeas, diced cucumber, red bell pepper, and grated red onion.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture, and toss until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Stir in crumbled feta cheese and fresh herbs (parsley, mint, dill) just before serving.
Let sit for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld, then serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Fresh herbs are essential for aromatic depth—adjust quantities to taste.
Marinating the salad improves flavor absorption; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Substitute canned chickpeas for dried to save time.
