Lebanese Red Cabbage Salad is a very simply dressed salad and the perfect accompaniment to Middle Eastern foods.

Lebanese Red Cabbage Salad

Bill and I recently were down in Cincinnati using up a restaurant coupon to a Lebanese restaurant we had never been to before called Cafe Mediterranean.

He had ordered some salmon in grape leaves and a similar salad was also on the plate. I tasted it since he said how much he liked it, It was fairly simple, albeit theirs did not have kale.

So recently when I was making ground lamb shish kebabs, I knew this was just the thing to go with. I hadn’t planned as such to put the kale in there, but I had a bunch from the local farmer’s market and felt it would add a ton of great color, as well as making it even healthier.

This doesn’t have a flavor like coleslaw if you were wondering. It is a bit zippy from the lemon (as is usual in Middle Eastern recipes) but not overly so. The za’atar spice adds a  little bit of depth of flavor to it. It is great as an unobtrusive side for a pita sandwich, and if you are daring, you can also use this as a topping for your meat on pita. Either way it is sure to please.
