Green Goddess Salad Recipe

This year may have been the year of viral salads, and I’m here for all of them. From the Jennifer Aniston salad to this green goddess salad, there’s nothing better than a refreshing, flavorful salad to fill you up!

Green goddess salad is a variation of the viral TikTok salad by Baked by Melissa. Made with cucumber, cabbage, and avocado tossed in a creamy herb-loaded dressing, it’s beyond delicious!

Ingredients Notes

Ingredients laid out for green goddess salad including cabbage, mini cucumbers, avocados, dill, basil, Greek yogurt, green onions, lemon juice, garlic, and spices.

Find the full printable recipe with specific measurements below.

  • Cabbage: I use half a head of green cabbage. You can remove and discard the outer leaf if you’d like.
  • Baby cucumbers: These are already small, so it’s easier to chop them up even smaller, but any cucumber will do.
  • Avocados: Give that creamy textural element that only avocado can!
  • Green onions: Sliced. Go ahead and use both the white and green parts.
  • Green goddess dressing: You’ll need Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, fresh basil leaves, fresh dill, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • Optional extras: Add feta cheese, pepitas, or chickpeas. You can also serve it with crackers or tortilla chips and treat it like a dip.

How to Make a Green Goddess Salad

Blend all of the green goddess dressing ingredients in a food processor until smooth.
