Ingredients

  • 4 cups green cabbage, finely chopped
  • 1 large cucumber, diced
  • 3 green onions (scallions), thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or parsley (optional)
  • For the Green Goddess dressing:
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • ½ cup fresh parsley leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast or ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 small shallot (optional), chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2–3 tablespoons water (to thin, if needed)

Instructions

  1. Make the dressing: Combine basil, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, nutritional yeast (or Parmesan), shallot (if using), salt and pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add water if needed to reach desired consistency.
  2. In a large bowl, combine chopped cabbage, diced cucumber, sliced green onions and any extra chopped herbs.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until all the vegetables are evenly coated.
  4. Serve immediately or let it chill for a bit to allow the flavors to meld—it tastes even better after resting.

Notes

  • You can swap or add Romaine or kale for extra greens.
  • Add avocado chunks or edamame for creaminess or extra protein.
  • Top with grilled chicken, shrimp or crispy tofu for a heartier main course salad.
  • The dressing also works great as a dip for crudités or as a spread on sandwiches.
