Created by Baked by Melissa, this vibrant Green Goddess Salad went massively viral for being completely addictive and wildly healthy. The genius of this recipe is finely dicing all the vegetables so you can eat it with a spoon or scoop it up with tortilla chips.

The dressing is the true star: a bright, acidic, incredibly flavorful blend of spinach, fresh basil, cashews, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice. It coats the crunchy cabbage and cucumbers perfectly.

Ingredients You Need

• 1 small head of green cabbage, very finely diced
• 3-4 baby cucumbers, very finely diced
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 1 cup fresh basil
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
• 1/3 cup cashews or walnuts
• Juice of 2 lemons
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• Tortilla chips for serving

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Place the very finely diced green cabbage and cucumbers into a large mixing bowl.

2. In a blender or food processor, combine the spinach, fresh basil, nutritional yeast, cashews, lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic.

3. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add a splash of water or more olive oil.

4. Pour the bright green dressing over the cabbage and cucumbers. Toss well until every piece is coated.

5. Serve immediately, scooping up bites with salty tortilla chips.
