Pizza salad is a collective name for a number of cheap and filling salads that are served as side dishes in Swedish pizzerias. They contain cabbage, oil, vinegar essence (or vinegar). It should stand and infuse for a few hours (or often one or more days) and last a few days in the fridge.
The salad actually originates in northeastern Italy/Croatia where it is called "kupus salata" which then spread to Sweden through Giuseppe "Peppino" Sperandio who opened Pizzeria Piazza Opera in Stockholm in 1969. (Source: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizzasallad)
This particular pizza salad tastes just like the one I remember from when I was younger and we bought some fancy pizzas in the town where I grew up. I've tried a few different recipes, all of which have something to offer, but this particular combination of flavors is nostalgic for me. If you want to have grilled paprika in it, it's easy to just throw it in before putting the salad in the fridge. Then just shred a pre-bought grilled paprika in oil into small pieces.
