GREEK CABBAGE SALAD - LAHANOSALATA (VINEGAR COLESLAW)

Steps:

• Finely shred the cabbage and place in a bowl. Cut off the tips of the carrot. Peel and discard its outer skin and grate it using a box grater. Place in the bowl.
• Cut off the stem and bottom of the tomato and cut in half. Then cut each half into thin slices. Place in the bowl as well.
• Cut the onion and bell pepper into thin slices as well and place in the bowl with the remaining ingredients.
• Add the dried oregano and season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Drizzle the olive oil and vinegar all over, and then mix the salad very well for 1-2 minutes with your hands. Rub and massage the cabbage to soften it and help the flavors blend together.
• Let the salad sit in the fridge for about 1 hour to marinade, before serving.
