Instructions

Wash all your produce thoroughly. Finely dice the green cabbage until the pieces are roughly the size of a pea. Dice the Persian cucumbers and slice the green onions and chives into small uniform pieces
Place the diced cabbage, cucumbers, onions, and chives into a large mixing bowl. Toss them together until the colors distribute evenly throughout the container
In a high-speed blender, combine the spinach, basil, garlic, shallot, lemon juice, olive oil, walnuts, nutritional yeast, and rice vinegar. Blend on high until the mixture becomes a smooth, vibrant green liquid
Taste the dressing directly from the blender. Add a pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper to enhance the herbal notes of your Green Goddess Salad dressing
Pour the green dressing over the chopped vegetables. Use a large spoon or spatula to fold the dressing into the greens, ensuring every tiny piece of cabbage receives a coating of the liquid gold
Give the Green Goddess Salad one last vigorous stir to help the cabbage release a bit of its moisture, which mingles with the dressing
Transfer the salad to a serving dish or enjoy it with tortilla chips or toasted pita

Notes

Let the Green Goddess Salad sit for about ten minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours.
