Greek Goddess Salad Ingredients

Salad:

• 1 small cabbage, finely diced, or iceberg lettuce
• 3-4 small Persian cucumbers, finely diced
• 1 bunch green onions, sliced
• 1/4 cup chives, finely sliced

Green Goddess Dressing:

• Juice of 2 lemons
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 small shallot
• 1 cup fresh basil
• 1 cup spinach
• 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
• 1/4 cup walnuts
• 1 tsp salt

Instructions

Preparation

Wash and thoroughly dry all vegetables. Start by rinsing the cabbage, cucumbers, green onions, and chives under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to remove any excess moisture.

Cooking

1. Finely dice the vegetables: Using a sharp knife, carefully chop the cabbage into small, uniform pieces. Similarly, dice the cucumbers, green onions, and chives into fine pieces. The key is to ensure that all the vegetables are cut to a consistent size for a well-balanced salad. Finally, mix all the vegetables in a large bowl.
2. Blend the dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, chopped shallot, basil leaves, spinach, nutritional yeast, walnuts, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring that all the ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Adjust the dressing consistency: After blending, check the consistency of the dressing. If it's too thick, you can thin it out by adding a splash of water or more olive oil. Conversely, if it's too thin, you can add extra nutritional yeast or walnuts to thicken it up.
4. Chill the dressing: Transfer the prepared dressing to a sealed container and refrigerate it until ready to use. Chilling the dressing will help enhance its flavors and allow it to thicken slightly, making it easier to coat the salad ingredients evenly.

Serving

Add the dressing to the bowl with the diced vegetables and mix well.
