Scale
Salad
- 4 cups finely chopped green cabbage
- 2 cups spinach, finely chopped
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Dressing
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1/2 avocado
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup fresh chives
- 1 tbsp fresh dill
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make the Dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, avocado, parsley, chives, dill, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed to achieve desired flavor and consistency.
- Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped green cabbage, spinach, diced cucumber, diced avocado, sliced green onions, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix gently to combine all the fresh ingredients evenly.
- Assemble: Drizzle the prepared Green Goddess dressing over the salad mixture. Toss everything thoroughly to coat all the vegetables with the creamy dressing, ensuring each bite is flavorful.
- Serve: Serve the salad immediately as a refreshing side dish or a light main course. Optionally, garnish with extra parsley or chives for a visually appealing finish and extra herbaceous flavor.
Notes
- Use Greek yogurt for a lighter, tangier dressing, or mayonnaise for a richer, creamier texture.
- Prepare the salad just before serving to keep the avocado fresh and prevent browning.
- Adjust herbs to taste; fresh dill, chives, and parsley are key to the classic Green Goddess flavor.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative and use vegan mayonnaise.
