Ingredients
Scale
For the Salad:
- 1 small head green cabbage, finely chopped (about 6 cups)
- 1 English cucumber, finely chopped (about 2 cups)
- 4 green onions, sliced
- 1 to 2 avocados, diced
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
- 1/2 cup pepitas
- Chips or crackers, for serving (optional)
For the Dressing:
- Green Goddess Dressing (recipe not provided, estimate about 1/2 cup)
Instructions
- Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped green cabbage, English cucumber, sliced green onions, diced avocado, crumbled feta cheese, and pepitas to create the base of the salad.
- Prepare the Dressing: Make the Green Goddess Dressing according to your recipe or preference. Typically, this dressing includes ingredients like mayonnaise, sour cream, herbs, lemon juice, anchovies, and garlic blended until creamy.
- Toss the Salad: Pour the prepared Green Goddess Dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Serve: Serve the salad immediately for best freshness, optionally accompanied by chips such as tortilla, pita, or potato chips for dipping to add a crunchy texture contrast.
Notes
- Storing: Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Keep the dressing separately in the fridge for up to 5 days if meal prepping. To maintain avocado freshness, add it just before serving.
- Variations: Omit the feta cheese for a dairy-free version. Substitute pepitas with chopped pistachios or almonds for a different nutty flavor. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or tarragon for added aroma and taste.
