  • ½ cup green onions (chopped)
  • ½ cup fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, or basil)
  • ½ avocado (sliced, optional)
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds or sliced almonds (for crunch)

For the Green Goddess Dressing

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ avocado (for creaminess)
  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine green and purple cabbage, cucumber, snap peas, green onions, and fresh herbs.
  • Toss: Drizzle the Green Goddess dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
  • Top & Serve: Add sliced avocado and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds or almonds for extra texture. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later.
