Salad

  • ½ head green cabbage finely chopped
  • 1 large cucumber diced
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • 1 ripe avocado diced
  • 2 tablespoons roasted walnuts or almonds optional, for crunch

Green Goddess Dressing

  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • ½ cup baby spinach or parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chives
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 small shallot
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast or grated parmesan
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Water as needed for thinning

Instructions
 

Prep the salad:

  • Finely chop the cabbage, cucumber, green onions, and avocado. Add to a large bowl.

Make the dressing:

  • In a blender, combine basil, spinach, chives, garlic, shallot, olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, and nutritional yeast. Blend until creamy and smooth. Add water gradually until desired consistency.

Toss & serve:

  • Pour the dressing over the chopped vegetables and toss to coat evenly.

Garnish:

Notes

💡 Chop veggies finely — the smaller the cut, the better the flavor blend.

🧊 The dressing keeps beautifully in the fridge for up to 3 days.
