Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 1 small head of green cabbage (finely chopped - confetti-sized, approximately 8 cups chopped)
- 1/2 English cucumber or 3 small garden cucumbers (diced)
- 1 avocado (diced for creaminess)
- 1 bunch of green onions (finely chopped)
Dressing
- 1 recipe Green Goddess Dressing (blended until creamy and bright green; quantity adjusted to taste, typically about 3/4 to 1 cup)
Optional
- Tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Chop: Slice the cabbage in half through the core and remove the tough core. Lay the halves flat and slice into thin shreds. Then cross-cut the shreds into small, confetti-sized pieces. Dice the cucumbers and avocado, and finely chop the green onions. Aim for similar-sized pieces for an even texture throughout the salad.
- Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped cabbage, diced cucumbers, diced avocado, and finely chopped green onions. Gently toss to distribute the ingredients evenly.
- Make Dressing: Prepare the Green Goddess Dressing using a blender or food processor. Blend until the dressing is creamy and a bright green color is achieved, indicative of fresh herbs and ingredients.
- Add: Pour the dressing over the mixed vegetables. Add the dressing gradually, tossing to coat the salad well. Use most of the dressing for maximum flavor, or adjust according to your preference.
- Serve: Enjoy the salad immediately on its own as a crisp, healthy dish or serve alongside crispy tortilla chips for added crunch and a delightful contrast.
Notes
- For best texture, chop all vegetables to a uniform small size.
- Adjust the amount of dressing based on personal taste preferences.
- The salad is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day to maintain crunchiness.
- Avocado adds creaminess but can be omitted to make the salad lighter.
- Tortilla chips add a nice crunchy contrast but are optional.
