"In winter, "Lahano Salata" frequently appears on the Greek table. It is made with compact creamy-coloured "white" cabbage. In more northern climates, this type of tight-headed cabbage tends to be a little woody, but in Greece, it always produces a rather sweet tasting, unusual salad, which has a crisp and refreshing texture."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cut the cabbage in quarters, discard the outer leaves and trim off any thick, hard stems as well as the hard base.
Step 2
Lay each quarter in turn on its side and cut long, very thin slices until you reach the central core, which should be discarded. (NOTE: The key to a perfect cabbage salad is to shred the cabbage as finely as possible). Place the shredded cabbage in a bowl and stir in the black olives.
Step 3
Make the dressing by whisking the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, chopped parsley and salt together in a bowl until well blended. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and olives, and toss the salad until everything is evenly coated.
