Instructions
- Prepare the crisp foundation by meticulously slicing cabbage, cucumber, and green onions into uniform, delicate pieces and transfer to a spacious mixing vessel.
- Craft the vibrant green goddess dressing by introducing chives, basil, spinach, olive oil, lemon juice, rice vinegar, garlic, shallot, nutritional yeast, avocado, and salt into a blender.
- Pulse and blend the ingredients until achieving a silky, emerald-hued sauce with a completely smooth consistency.
- Generously cascade the verdant dressing over the chopped vegetables, ensuring each fragment is luxuriously coated by gently tossing the salad with a sweeping motion.
- Allow the salad to rest for 3-5 minutes, permitting the ingredients to meld and the flavors to harmonize before serving at room temperature.
Notes
- Choose crisp, fresh vegetables for the best texture and vibrant green color in your salad.
- Use a sharp knife to chop vegetables uniformly, ensuring even distribution of flavors and a professional look.
- Adjust the dressing’s thickness by adding more olive oil or a splash of water if it’s too dense.
- Prepare the salad just before serving to maintain the crunchiness of the vegetables and prevent wilting.
