Red Cabbage Salad with Pine Nuts and Feta

This is from my sister-in-law, Carrie (hi, Carrie!). I haven't made it in years, but was digging through my recipe box in the hopes of finding a new salad to make for our small group tonight. I happened upon this one again, and remembered all over again how delicious it is. And it's so pretty! Best to make what you need for one sitting, though; this one doesn't keep well.



What you need

Red cabbage, half a head, shredded/chopped (don't forget to get rid of the core) (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted (heat in medium heat pan, shake often and don't take your eyes off them!)
1/2 cup feta, crumbled
dill, fresh or dried (I used dried, just shake some in)
1/4 cup olive oil
lemon juice, equal to 1/2 a lemon
garlic powder
salt and pepper



Mix cabbage, nuts and feta in bowl. Whisk oil, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt and pepper together in separate bowl, then pour on top of cabbage mixture. Stir thoroughly. Serve within the hour.

wandering around FB and saw your recipies . . . I go to a little fish place called Lefty's that takes a nice spin on this slaw recipe. Replace the pine nuts and feta with sunflower seeds and chopped halepeno's . . . great color, toastiness, and pop! they've got a great (read lots of mayo) patato salad to go with it and their shrimp po-boy. - brother dave
