TikTok Green Goddess Salad
The bowl featured in the popular TikTok video by Baked by Melissa is equally delectable and easy to scoop as demonstrated in her video. If you're not confident in your knife skills, a food processor can be used to shred and chop the cabbage. The dressing is incredibly flavorful, prompting us to suggest preparing an additional batch for marinating grilled vegetables, enhancing fish, and even serving as a pizza sauce!
Ingredients
For the salad
- 4 cups finely chopped green cabbage.
- 3 mini cucumbers, chopped.
- 5 scallions (green onions) trimmed and sliced.
For the dressing
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled.
- 1 shallot, peeled.
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ¼ cup chives
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- ¼ cup nuts (walnuts, cashews, almonds, etc.)
- 1 cup fresh basil
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Instructions
- Place the cabbage, cucumbers, and green onions in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Add garlic, shallot, lemon juice, chives, oil, vinegar, nuts, basil, spinach and yeast to the bowl of a food processor and blend, scraping down the sides occasionally, until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Pour dressing over cabbage and toss until well-combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- If you don't have nutritional yeast, substitute with equal parts grated Parmesan cheese.
