Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 1 small head of green cabbage, finely chopped to confetti-sized pieces (about 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 (prepared separately or store-bought), blended until creamy and bright green
Optional
- Tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Chop: Slice the cabbage in half through the core and remove the tough core. Lay the halves flat, slice into thin shreds, then cross-cut the shreds into confetti-sized pieces. Dice the cucumbers and avocado, and finely chop the green onions ensuring all ingredients are cut to a similar size for balanced texture and presentation.
- Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cabbage, diced cucumbers, avocado, and green onions thoroughly, making sure all vegetables are evenly distributed.
- Make the Dressing: Prepare the Green Goddess dressing by blending all dressing ingredients in a blender or food processor until it is creamy and bright green in color.
- Add Dressing: Pour the dressing over the mixed vegetables, adding to taste—typically most of the dressing is used to coat the salad well. Toss gently but thoroughly to combine and ensure every bite is flavorful.
- Serve: Serve the salad immediately as a fresh, healthy side dish or offer with crispy tortilla chips as a delightful snack or appetizer.
Notes
- For best flavor, prepare the salad just before serving to keep the cabbage crisp and avocado fresh.
- Adjust the amount of Green Goddess dressing based on personal preference for creaminess and flavor intensity.
- Tortilla chips are optional but add a satisfying crunch and make it a fun, shareable appetizer.
- You can customize this salad by adding other fresh herbs like parsley or tarragon depending on your preference.
