Green Goddess Salad
This crisp, creamy, and herby Green Goddess Salad features my fan-favorite Green Goddess Dressing. You'll love how easy it is to make and how versatile the recipe is since it's perfect as a lunch dish, side dish, or as a full meal with sliced chicken on top. But my favorite way to serve this fresh salad is on top of a tortilla chip! This serves 8 people as a side salad, but 12 if served with chips as an appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 small head of green cabbage, finely chopped - confetti-sized (8 cups chopped)
- 1/2 English cucumber or 3 small garden cucumbers
- 1 avocado, diced for creaminess
- 1 bunch of green onions, finely chopped
- 1 recipe Green Goddess Dressing, or added to taste
- Tortilla chips for serving, optional
Instructions
- Chop - Slice the cabbage in half through the core and cut out the tough core. Lay the halves flat, slice into thin shreds, then cross-cut the shreds into small confetti-sized pieces. Dice up the cucumbers and avocado, and finely chop green onion. Everything should be chopped to a similar size.
- Mix - In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cabbage, cucumbers, avocado if using, and green onions.
- Make the dressing in a blender or food processor, blending until it’s creamy and bright green in color.
- Add - Pour the dressing over the veggies, adding it to taste (I use most of it) and toss to combine.
- Serve - Enjoy as a salad or serve with crispy tortilla chips.
Notes
Storage - This salad is best served immediately, since the avocado can quickly brown and the veggies can lose crispness in the fridge, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days (I suggest you consume within 24 hours for the most pleasant appearance and freshness.)
Make Ahead - To prep this salad, mix the ingredients, except for the avocado, and store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Make the dressing in a separate container, and store the fridge for 3 days. When ready to serve, toss the veggies with the dressing and avocado.
