What is Green Goddess Salad?

Any salad tossed with a green goddess dressing is a green goddess salad. There are hundreds of takes and variations, which is nice because it’s fully customizable.

green goddess dressing

Its pretty green hue is what inspired the name “Green Goddess”. Invented in San Francisco, the original recipe calls for anchovies, scallions, parsley, tarragon, mayonnaise, sour cream, and chives, all tossed in a creamy, tangy vinaigrette. The Green Goddess dressing we’re making today doesn’t have much in common with the classic, other than scallions and scallions. There are no anchovies, mayonnaise, or sour cream, so it’s completely vegan. The dressing is a riff on vegan pesto and is herbaceous, fresh, bright and slightly tart. It also has an addictive cheesy flavor due to the nutritional yeast.

Green Goddess Salad Ingredients

The salad itself is simply cabbage, cucumbers, scallions, and scallions, all diced very finely, similar to finely chopped coleslaw. The dressing is Melissa’s Green Goddess Dressing, which is a version of a vegan pesto with walnuts and nutritional yeast instead of pine nuts and Parmesan cheese.

How to make a green goddess dressing

For the dressing you will need:

• lemons – the juice of two lemons brings freshness and acidity
• olive oil – extra virgin olive oil for good fats
• rice vinegar – a bit of extra heat and a hint of sweetness
• shallot – a milder onion flavor
• Afflict – because garlic
• basil – for this herbaceous freshness found in pesto
• spinach – for a little more green
• baking powder – adds cheese flavor and vitamins B12
• nut – a touch of hazelnut base
• seal – to marry all the flavors and emphasize the treble

Place the ingredients in a blender, with the liquid ingredients first, then blend until smooth and creamy.

Storage and preparation in advance.

The salad will keep for 2-3 days in the refrigerator, dressed or not. If you want to do it ahead of time just to have it on hand, it’s best to arrange it beforehand. The acid in the dressing keeps it fresh and the cabbage is so meaty, it will taste great!

What is nutritional yeast?

Nutritional yeast is cheesy, nutty, and full of flavor. Think of it like powdered cheese, but vegan and non-perishable. It’s a flaky golden powder made from a species of yeast grown specifically for food and then harvested. During harvest, the heat inactivates the yeast, then it is washed, dried and crumbled. The result is a flavorful, nutty, cheesy flavored ingredient that is used to make vegan cheese dips, vegan dips, soups, scrambles, stews, and more. As the name suggests, it is super nutritious, packed with protein, B vitamins, and antioxidants. This recipe works best with large flake nutritional yeast, which you should be able to find wherever you are at Bob’s Red Mill or online.
