Ingredients Needed

Green Cabbage – I used green cabbage that you chop finely. I used one whole small head. But if you have a larger cabbage do half the cabbage.

English Cucumbers – So I peeled and finely diced my cucumbers up. You can use a regular cucumber if that is what you have.

Lemon and Lime – I wanted the twist of lemon and lime in our salad. The original just used lemon, so it is whatever you prefer.

Jalapeno – So I used jarred jalapenos that were diced up. I did mix it in with the cucumber and cabbage to add a kick of spice. I found the salad lacking without it.

Kale – So I used kale, but I wanted basil. Our store was completely out of basil. So kale was my substitute.

Baby Spinach – Reach for some baby spinach for making the sauce. It adds tons of nutrients and is so delicious.

Garlic and Green Onions – I added the onions in with the white tops in the blender to mix up for the dressing. You can also add shallots but I didn’t have any.

Oil and Vinegar – Rice vinegar and olive oil are the base of the dressing.

Parmesan – I cubed up some fresh parmesan and tossed it in. Now if you want vegan swap with 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast.

Modifications To Recipe

• Swap kale for basil. The basil is delicious.
• Leave out the jalapeno if you don’t want to add in some spice.
• Make sure to salt well, as this dish needs salt to help bring out the flavors.
• You can use white wine vinegar in replace of rice vinegar.
• Use just lemon and leave out the lime juice.
• Add in one avocado for added flavor.

How to Make

Full directions on how to make this chopped green goddess salad are in the printable recipe card featured at the bottom of the post.

Step One: Start by chopping up the cabbage and the cucumbers very fine. Toss in a bowl and mix. Now if you want to add jalapeno toss it in at this point.

Kale – Swap the kale with basil if you would like. Our store didn't have basil so I used kale. I prefer basil.

Lemon and Lime – If you want omit the lime and just use lemon juice.
