Instructions

Make the Dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, avocado, fresh parsley, chives, dill, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary to balance flavors.
Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, mix together the finely chopped green cabbage, chopped spinach, diced cucumber, diced avocado, sliced green onions, and chopped parsley to create a colorful and textured salad base.
Assemble: Pour the prepared Green Goddess dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the creamy dressing, enhancing every bite.
Serve: Serve the salad immediately as a refreshing side dish or a light main course. For an added touch, garnish with extra fresh parsley or chives if desired.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt or mayonnaise alternative.
Use fresh herbs for the best flavor; dried herbs will not provide the same vibrant taste.
To prepare ahead, keep the dressing and salad ingredients separate and toss just before serving to maintain freshness.
Add grilled chicken or shrimp if you want to increase the protein content and make it more filling.
This salad is best served fresh to enjoy the crisp texture of the greens and cucumbers.
