- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then slice it in half and remove the core. Finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Place it in a large bowl.

Trim the ends of the green onions, then finely slice them. Add them to the bowl with the other vegetables.
Step 4
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, finely minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and optional sumac. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Step 5
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss well to ensure that all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 6
Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing side dish to grilled meats, falafel, or other Mediterranean meals.
