Method
 

  1. Start by finely chopping the green cabbage and placing it in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Next, chop the English cucumber and add it to the bowl along with the sliced green onions.
  3. Carefully cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Dice the avocado into bite-sized pieces and gently fold them into the salad.
  4. If you choose to include feta cheese, sprinkle the crumbled feta over the salad at this stage. You can also add pepitas for a delightful crunch.
  5. In a blender or food processor, combine your choice of fresh herbs, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  6. Pour the freshly made Green Goddess dressing over the salad mixture. Gently toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.
  7. Your Green Goddess Salad is ready to be served! Pair it with chips or crackers for an extra crunch, or enjoy it on its own.

Notes

  • To prevent avocado browning, add it just before serving.
  • Start with a small amount of dressing and add more as needed.
  • Store leftovers and dressing separately to maintain freshness.
