Lahanosalata (Cabbage salad) with Pomegranate – The best salad I have ever eaten!!

Lahanosalata (Cabbage salad) made with cabbage, celery, onion,  nuts and dried fruit and dressed with a delicious salad dressing,  may take a little time to prepare but it is worth all the effort.

We will be going  to Switzerland and France, for a week to visit our son and hope to visit your blogs soon.

 

I am leaving you with the best ever salad I have ever eaten. Sweet, sour, tangy, creamy and crunchy, this is the ultimate salad. So many tastes and textures, I am sure you will love it. I have been making this salad for years but I don’t make it very often because it is a bit time consuming. I make it only on special occasions and I made it last week when I had some guests. Believe me they couldn’t stop eating and I regret I made it because they ate so much that they couldn’t eat all the other things I had made.

 

If you think it makes a lot, you are right, but don’t worry. It’s never a lot and it is better the other day and the day after, and the day after that as well. You can eat it for 3 or 4 days and it is just as good.
