  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Salad

  • 1 small head of green cabbage, diced
  • 1 bunch of green onions, diced
  • 3 to 4 baby cucumbers (or 1 English cucumber), finely diced
  • 1/4 cup diced chives

Dressing

  • 1 cup soft herbs (basil, parsley, or dill)
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 1 shallot, peeled
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup walnuts (or pecans, cashews, or hazelnuts)
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Optional

  • Tortilla chips, pita chips, or pita bread for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Combine the diced green cabbage, green onions, finely diced cucumbers, and diced chives in a large mixing bowl. Toss gently to mix all the fresh ingredients evenly.
  2. Make the Dressing: Add the fresh herbs, spinach, shallot, garlic cloves, nutritional yeast, olive oil, nuts, lemon juice, rice wine vinegar, and sea salt into a blender or food processor. Blend on high for about 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and the herbs and spinach are well broken down, creating a creamy, flavorful dressing.
  3. Toss the Salad: Pour the prepared dressing over the chopped cabbage mixture. Toss well to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing, enhancing their flavor and texture.
  4. Serve: Serve the salad immediately as a light and refreshing side. Optionally, accompany it with tortilla chips, pita chips, or pita bread for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Feel free to swap walnuts for other nuts such as pecans, cashews, or hazelnuts according to your preference or dietary needs.
  • The herbs used in the dressing can be varied between basil, parsley, or dill to adjust the flavor profile to your liking.
  • For a nuttier taste, try toasting the nuts lightly before blending.
  • This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day; however, the cabbage may soften over time.
  • Omit the optional chips or bread for a lower-carb, gluten-free meal option.
