Recipe Note
The Green Goddess Salad is currently on everyone's lips – literally. But what is it actually? The Green Goddess Salad is a (in our case) vegan salad made from all kinds of greens!
The name says it all: spinach, cucumber, avocado, and basil give the salad its typical green appearance.
The special thing about the Green Goddess Salad recipe is definitely the Green Goddess Salad dressing! Various herbs give an incredible flavor, the lemon adds a pleasant acidity, and the avocado together with the cashew nuts creates a creamy salad sauce.
The viral recipe
The Green Goddess Salad recipe delights millions of people. It became famous, among other things, as a healthy salad because the great ingredients make the Green Goddess Salad very nutrient-rich.
By the way: Many know the Green Goddess Salad recipe as "Nacho Salad" because many use it as a dip for nachos, crackers, and the like. Give it a try – it's a delicious snack with lots of fresh vegetables for a cozy movie night.
Tips
If you prefer the white cabbage a bit softer, you can salt the cabbage after cutting and knead it like dough. This makes it softer – but also less crunchy. Feel free to add more herbs (like dill, parsley, or coriander) or salad types (iceberg lettuce, lamb's lettuce, …). Especially if you don't eat cabbage often, this can help make the salad easier to digest for you. If you can't get enough avocado, you can pep up the salad with avocado. Just cut it small and add it.
