  • 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 Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. 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. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  2. Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, mix together the finely chopped green cabbage, spinach, diced cucumber, diced avocado, sliced green onions, and chopped parsley until well combined.
  3. Assemble: Pour the prepared Green Goddess dressing over the salad. Toss thoroughly to ensure all the salad ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt.
  • Adjust the lemon juice and garlic amounts according to your taste preference.
  • This salad is best eaten fresh to enjoy the crispness of the greens.
  • You can add some toasted nuts or seeds for extra crunch and protein.
  • Store leftover dressing separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
