Ingredients
Salad
- 500 g green cabbage finely chopped
- 1 lemon juiced
- Pinch sea salt
- 3 spring onions finely sliced
- Handful cashew nuts or pine nuts
Green Goddess Dressing
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 bunch fresh basil leaves
- Small handful parsley leaves
- 30 g baby spinach leaves
- 1 spring onion
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 –3 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes optional, for a cheesy flavour
- 120 ml cold water
Method
- Place the chopped cabbage into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt. Using clean hands, gently massage the cabbage for about 1 minute. This softens the fibres, tenderises the cabbage and makes it much more delicious to eat.
- Add the sliced spring onions and cashew nuts or pine nuts to the bowl and set aside.
- To make the dressing place the avocado, basil, parsley, spinach, spring onion, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, nutritional yeast and cold water into a blender.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well until everything is beautifully coated.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
