Ingredients
Salad
- 3 cups green cabbage, finely chopped
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 3 green onions, sliced
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
- ¼ cup fresh chives, chopped
- ¼ cup roasted sunflower seeds
Green Goddess Dressing
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tbsp fresh basil
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Combine the finely chopped green cabbage, chopped romaine lettuce, diced cucumber, sliced green onions, chopped fresh parsley, chopped fresh chives, and roasted sunflower seeds in a large mixing bowl.
- Make the Dressing: In a blender or food processor, blend the plain Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic clove, fresh basil, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
- Toss Salad with Dressing: Pour the freshly made Green Goddess dressing over the mixed salad ingredients in the bowl. Toss everything gently and thoroughly to coat the salad evenly with the creamy dressing.
- Serve or Chill: Serve the salad immediately for a crisp, fresh taste, or place it in the refrigerator to chill for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- Add grilled chicken or chickpeas to the salad for an extra boost of protein, making it more filling.
- If preparing the salad ahead of time, store the Green Goddess dressing separately to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
