Wilted Greek Cabbage Salad Recipe

"This is a nice blend between - a slaw/salad and a sauteed cabbage dish. Really delicious; and, very easy to prepare. The vegetables are just slightly wilted - just until warm; so, this makes it a great potluck or BBQ dish - perfect to entertain with. It can be served warm or room temp. And, it has a nice Greek flavor to it."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Vinaigrette ... Add all the ingredients to a small bowl, measuring cup, or mason jar; (shake or stir) until combined. I prefer to use the mason jar; but, use whatever method you like. You can even use a small tupperware type of container too. Right before serving, I like to lightly warm up the vinaigrette in the microwave. NOT HOT, just a few seconds to warm it up.

Step 2

Saute ... Lightly spray a large saute pan (non-stick preferred) with olive oil or a non-stick spray; and, bring to medium high heat. Add the cabbage, onion, fennel; and, saute just a couple of minutes, just until the cabbage begins to wilt. Remember, you are just wilting the cabbage and vegetables - you still want them to be crisp, just lightly warmed and tender.

Step 3

Finish ... Remove from the heat - add the capers, olives, Feta, warm vinaigrette (start out with 1/2, you can always add more), parsley, fennel fronds; and, toss to combine. If the salad seems a bit dry; add more vinaigrette - I usually use all of it. But, it is up to you, how much dressing you decide to use.

Step 4

Serve and ENJOY! ... I prefer to serve immediately when still lightly warm. As mentioned, it is great served warm; however, it is just as good served at room temperature. It is a great side dish; and, goes well with so many dishes.

Step 5

Note: For a little sweetness; sometimes, I will add a few sun dried tomatoes, packed in olive oil, fine diced. It is optional; but, it can be really good. Just go easy ... just a few is all you need.
