Lemon Garlic Vinaigrette:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
Salad:
- 16 oz. coleslaw mix shredded cabbage and carrots
- 1/2 red bell pepper diced
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1 can 2.25 oz. sliced black olives, drained
- 1/2 jar 12 oz. banana pepper rings, drained
- 2 oz. feta cheese crumbled
Prepare the vinaigrette: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Mix the salad: In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots), diced red bell pepper, chopped parsley, sliced black olives, and banana pepper rings.
Add the feta: Crumble the feta cheese over the salad mixture and gently toss to combine.
Dress the salad: Pour the lemon garlic vinaigrette over the salad and toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Chill and serve: For best results, let the coleslaw sit in the fridge for 20–30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving. Enjoy chilled!
