Ingredients
½ head of green cabbage
3 Persian cucumbers
1 bundle of green onions
Tortilla chips for serving
Dressing:
1 cup baby spinach
1 cup fresh basil
2 garlic cloves
1 small shallot
2 lemons, juiced
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup cashews
⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Start by preparing the vegetables. Shred the green cabbage into bite-sized pieces and slice the Persian cucumbers into thin rounds. Chop the green onions into small pieces.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the baby spinach, fresh basil, garlic cloves, shallot, lemon juice, olive oil, cashews, parmesan cheese, rice vinegar, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Toss the chopped vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the Green Goddess dressing over the vegetables and toss well to coat.
- Serve the salad immediately with a generous handful of tortilla chips on the side for added crunch.
Notes
Add Dijon mustard to the dressing for a more robust flavor.
If you don’t have cashews, use almonds or walnuts for a similar creamy texture.
Add protein like grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu to make the salad a complete meal.
For a tangier dressing, add more lemon juice or rice vinegar.
Store leftover salad and dressing separately for best results.
