Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 small Napa cabbage (or green cabbage), finely sliced
  • 6 green onions, finely diced
  • 1 large English cucumber or 2 medium Persian cucumbers, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped

Dressing

  • 1 batch Green Goddess Dressing (prepared following the referenced recipe)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dressing: Follow the linked recipe or instructions to make a batch of Green Goddess dressing, which typically includes ingredients like mayonnaise, sour cream, fresh herbs, lemon juice, anchovies, and garlic.
  2. Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the finely sliced Napa cabbage, diced green onions, chopped cucumber, and fresh chives, mixing them gently to combine the textures and flavors evenly.
  3. Add Dressing: Top the salad with the desired amount of Green Goddess dressing. Toss or stir well to ensure every bite is coated with the creamy, herbaceous dressing.
  4. Serve or Store: Serve the salad immediately for maximum freshness and crunch. Alternatively, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, although it’s best enjoyed fresh to retain texture.

Notes

  • For a crisper salad, chill all vegetables before assembling.
  • Adjust the amount of dressing to your preference to keep the salad light or more indulgent.
  • This salad pairs well with grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to prevent sogginess.
  • Use green cabbage as a substitute if Napa cabbage is unavailable.
