Ingredients

FOR THE SALAD

1 small head green cabbage , finely diced
3 small Persian cucumbers , washed and dried, finely diced
3 scallions , diced
1/4 cup chives , diced
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

FOR THE DRESSING

1/4 cup olive oil
2 lemons , juiced
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic
1 small shallot
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1 cup fresh spinach
2 tablespoons fresh dill

1/2 cup raw cashews (or walnuts)
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

FOR SERVING

Pita chips or tortilla chips

Instructions

Wash, dry, and finely dice up all the veggies and chives; transfer to a large mixing bowl with the feta cheese.
Add all the dressing ingredients to blender or food processor in the order listed (liquids should be first), except the water. Blend until smooth. Test the consistency and if needed add in some of the water and blend again.
Pour the dressing in the bowl over the chopped veggies and mix well.
You can enjoy this on its own, as a side to any protein, as a dip with chips, or over cottage cheese toast!

Notes

Use different herbs. Green goddess dressing is herb centric and very versatile depending on what you have on hand and personal preference. I love basil and dill, but flat-leaf parsley leaves, chives, tarragon leaves, and dill are a wonderful combination if your garden is bursting with a variety. Note that the end flavor really depends on which herbs you choose to include.
