Ingredients Needed

Green Cabbage – I used green cabbage that you chop finely. I used one whole small head. But if you have a larger cabbage do half the cabbage.

English Cucumbers – So I peeled and finely diced my cucumbers up. You can use a regular cucumber if that is what you have.

Lemon and Lime – I wanted the twist of lemon and lime in our salad. The original just used lemon, so it is whatever you prefer.

Jalapeno – So I used jarred jalapenos that were diced up. I did mix it in with the cucumber and cabbage to add a kick of spice. I found the salad lacking without it.

Kale – So I used kale, but I wanted basil. Our store was completely out of basil. So kale was my substitute.

Baby Spinach – Reach for some baby spinach for making the sauce. It adds tons of nutrients and is so delicious.

Garlic and Green Onions – I added the onions in with the white tops in the blender to mix up for the dressing. You can also add shallots but I didn’t have any.

Oil and Vinegar – Rice vinegar and olive oil are the base of the dressing.

Parmesan – I cubed up some fresh parmesan and tossed it in. Now if you want vegan swap with 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast.

Modifications To Recipe

  • Swap kale for basil. The basil is delicious.
  • Leave out the jalapeno if you don’t want to add in some spice.
  • Make sure to salt well, as this dish needs salt to help bring out the flavors.
  • You can use white wine vinegar in replace of rice vinegar.
  • Use just lemon and leave out the lime juice.
  • Add in one avocado for added flavor.

Step Four: Pour the green goddess dressing over the cucumber and cabbage mixture. Mix well and then season with salt and pepper to taste if you would like.

How to Eat This Green Goddess Salad

There are numerous ways to eat this salad. From eating it on tortilla chips, to wrapping up in a tortilla. We buy low carb tortillas and make a wrap with the salad. So good.

Also you can serve it as a side dish and eat it plain. It is loaded with nutrient rich foods that are so good for you, and taste even better.

Storing Leftovers

This cabbage chopped salad can be stored in the fridge for 3-5 days. You will find it is best eaten the first day as all the flavors are perfectly blended and it has a nice crunch texture to the salad.

Helpful Tips For Success

  • Chop your cucumbers and cabbage very fine. That is the tasty aspect of the salad is you get all the components in each bite.
  • Use a sharp knife to get all the veggies chopped nicely.
  • Use fresh ingredients making sure to wash and prep all your ingredients properly.
  • Allow the green goddess cabbage salad to refrigerate for 1 hour before you serve. It will help lock in all the flavors to the salad.

FAQs

Can I make this salad in advance?

Go right ahead and make this salad a day or up to two days in advance. Just mix it altogether and store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.

Will walnuts work in replace of cashews in salad dressing?

Go right ahead and swap the cashews out with walnuts, almonds, or other variances of nuts. I have even used pistachios and it tasted amazing. Just de-shell nuts first.

Can I swap out the rice vinegar?

Apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar are both great options. I personally prefer the rice or the white wine. I find that the apple cider vinegar can be a bit more overpowering.
