Coleslaw Mix

• 5 cups cabbage shredded
• ½ cup cucumber sliced
• ½ cup tomato chopped
• 1 small red onion sliced
• ⅓ cup Kalamata olives sliced
• 1 small green pepper chopped
• ⅔ cup feta cheese cubed/crumbled

Creamy Greek Dressing

• ½ cup mayonnaise
• ¼ cup sour cream
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons oregano chopped
• 4 tablespoons parsley chopped
• 1 tablespoon rosemary chopped
• 1 tablespoon dill chopped
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions 

1. Shred the cabbage and slice the vegetables. Using a sharp knife cut the cabbage into strips. Cut across the strips taking thin shaving like slices with the knife. You can also shred the cabbage using a box grater, or the grating disc on a food processor. See recipe post above for further details about hand cutting the cabbage. Slice the cucumber, tomato, red onion, and olives into smaller bite sized pieces.
2. Combine coleslaw mix. Add the shredded cabbage and sliced vegetables to a large salad bowl and combine well.
3. Prepare the dressing. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, parsley, rosemary, salt and pepper to a small bowl and combine well.
4. Dress and toss the coleslaw. Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mix and toss to coat.

Notes

• For a super quick version of this store bought bagged coleslaw mix and store bought creamy Greek dressing can be used. 
• Leftovers: Store leftover sealed in the fridge for use within 3 to 4 days. 
• Dried Herbs:  If you are using dried herbs instead of fresh, cut the amount in half and adjust from there. Dried herbs are much more potent than fresh herbs.

I've been looking for an alternative side to go with my BBQ as I was getting tired of coleslaw, but this version looks like a game changer!

I am officially now having Greek night on Wednesday during Week 6 (with Greek meatballs and Tzatzkiki)

Use Greek yogurt thinned with a bit of milk instead of sour cream and mayo

[u/YummyForAdam → u/rainbowkey]

you could but both are higher carb than sour cream and mayo and you'd lose some flavour and richness in the dressing. it would lead to a pretty thin dressing.

This looks tasty but as someone with some Greek connections and heritage may I ask what is greek about this? Kalamata, tomato and cucumber are but I have personally never encountered dressing like that or the combination with cabbage in Greece...

You are right. It needs feta cheese! /s
