  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 1 small head green cabbage, finely chopped (about 6 cups)
  • 1 English cucumber, finely chopped (about 2 cups)
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • 1 to 2 avocados, diced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • 1/2 cup pepitas
  • Chips or crackers for serving (optional)

For the Dressing:

  • Green Goddess Dressing (exact recipe not provided; use your favorite or store-bought dressing)

Instructions

  1. Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the finely chopped green cabbage, cucumber, sliced green onions, diced avocado, crumbled feta cheese (if using), and pepitas until evenly distributed.
  2. Prepare the Dressing: Make the Green Goddess Dressing separately according to your preferred recipe or use a store-bought version to save time.
  3. Toss Salad with Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently but thoroughly to coat everything evenly with the creamy dressing.
  4. Serve: Serve the salad immediately, optionally paired with tortilla, pita, or potato chips for dipping to add a crunchy contrast and enhance the experience.

Notes

  • For best texture, add avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
  • You can omit feta to keep the salad dairy-free.
  • Adjust the amount of dressing based on your preference for creaminess.
  • Pepitas add a nice crunch but can be substituted with toasted nuts or seeds.
  • For a vegan version, use a dairy-free dressing and omit feta cheese.
