Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 1 small head of green cabbage, finely chopped – confetti-sized (8 cups chopped)
- 1/2 English cucumber or 3 small garden cucumbers, thinly sliced or diced
- 1 avocado, diced for creaminess
- 1 bunch of green onions, finely chopped
- Tortilla chips for serving (optional)
Dressing
- 1 recipe Green Goddess Dressing (prepared separately or store-bought), or to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Finely chop the green cabbage into small confetti-sized pieces, ensuring the texture is crisp but not too coarse. Thinly slice or dice the cucumbers and finely chop the green onions for a fresh, aromatic touch.
- Dice the Avocado: Peel and dice the avocado into small cubes to add a creamy texture that contrasts with the crunch of the cabbage and cucumbers.
- Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the chopped cabbage, cucumbers, green onions, and diced avocado together to distribute ingredients evenly without mashing the avocado.
- Add the Dressing: Pour the Green Goddess dressing over the salad gradually, tossing gently after each addition until your desired level of creaminess and flavor is achieved.
- Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or platter. Optionally, serve with tortilla chips on the side to add an enjoyable crunch and a bit of saltiness that complements the salad perfectly.
Notes
- For the Green Goddess Dressing, you can use a prepared recipe featuring ingredients like mayonnaise, sour cream, herbs, lemon juice, and anchovies for authenticity.
- If preparing ahead, keep dressed salad refrigerated and consume within 24 hours to maintain freshness, especially due to the avocado.
- Tortilla chips add a fun texture contrast but are optional depending on your dietary preferences.
- To make this salad vegan, substitute the traditional Green Goddess dressing with a dairy-free version or vinaigrette.
