Date, Feta and Red Cabbage Salad

PHOTO FROM SMITTEN KITCHEN

I love Smitten Kitchen’s recipes, this one sounded oddly intriguing and I loved it on the side with protein!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pound red cabbage (1 small head or 1/2 large) cut very thinly

3 TBS olive oil

2 TBS lime juice

Salt and red pepper flakes

1/2 cup pitted dates chopped or sliced

4 ounces feta, crumbled

1 TBS flat-leaf parsley, chopped

2 TSP well-roasted seasame seeds (I substituted walnuts)

Instructions:

Toss cabbage with olive oil, lime juice, salt and red pepper flakes. Taste and add more as needed.

Add the dates and feta and gently combine, then add the parsley and sesame seeds (or walnuts) and enjoy!

Makes 4-6 servings as a side.

This salad also keeps well for a day or two.
