  • 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper

Salad

  • 16 oz coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)

  • 1 (2.25 oz) can sliced black olives, drained

  • 1/2 (12 oz) jar banana pepper rings

  • 2 oz feta cheese, crumbled


Instructions

  1. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.

Notes

This slaw tastes even better after chilling for 30–60 minutes.

Add grilled chicken or chickpeas to turn it into a complete meal.

If lemons are extra tart, a small drizzle of honey can balance the dressing.
