How to eat this salad

Although Melissa suggest to eat the green goddess salad as a dip (with chips), this recipe is very versatile.

You can eat it on it's own as a crunchy, tasty side salad. It also goes great with tacos especially fish tacos like these Halibut Tacos because it has cabbage.

This recipe would also be a great addition to a sandwich, on toast, a tortilla wrap or with pita bread.

If you decide to use it as a dip, highly suggest that you make sure the cabbage to dressing ratio is about 1:2 in order to make it easier to dip.

Green Goddess Dressing

In her recipe, Baked by Melissa uses the following ingredients for the dressing: basil, spinach, shallot, olive oil, cashews (can substitute for pistachio), garlic, rice vinegar, salt and nutritional yeast.

  • Basil: Adds a subtle aromatic flavor that is essential in this dressing. Highly suggest using this and not making substitutions.
  • Spinach: This adds nutritional value to this dressing without overpowering the other ingredients.
  • Shallot: This ingredient is a must. It is a milder onion that adds subtle flavor and it is not as pungent as regular onions. If you don't have shallots, use ¼ of a red onion.
  • Olive Oil: I like to use extra virgin olive oil because of the intense aroma and flavor. You can use any other neutral oil such as avocado oil.
  • Cashews: You can use any nuts that you'd like. Melissa uses cashews in her recipe and I love the creaminess that cashews adds to this dressing.
  • Garlic: I love the intense flavor and aroma of garlic, the vinegar in the recipe tames the intense flavor.
  • Rice Vinegar: This is by far the ingredient that fives this recipe the most characteristic flavor. Rice vinegar is a bit sweet and mild. I highly recommend using it and not making substitutions.
  • Nutritional Yeast: This ingredient is used to replace cheese in many vegan recipes. I did not add it to mine and still loved the taste. If you want, add parmesan cheese instead of nutritional yeast.

I did not have nutritional yeast, if you are not vegan you can easily substitute this for grated parmesan cheese. I didn't add parmesan either and the salad is still very tasty.

Ingredients for the cabbage salad

Chopped cabbage, scallions and diced cucumbers. Melissa also added chives to her original recipe but I only added scallions.

This recipe is healthy and unexpectedly delicious. You can customize the ingredients to your personal taste and whatever you have on hand at the moment.

I would say one of the key ingredients in the salad dressing is the rice vinegar. It adds a very pleasant flavor and binds all the herbs together.

I will definitely add this to my menu rotation, especially for hot summer months, this would make a great dish to bring to a potluck or pool party because it is light and refreshing.

Recipe below is from Baked by Melissa. I adapted it by removing the nutritional yeast.

    You forgot the nutritional yeast in the ingredients...one of the most important ingredients as it lends the cheezy flavor and imparts a bunch of protein and b vitamins too.
