Instructions

Prepare the salad: Combine the green cabbage, purple cabbage, cucumber, green onions, fresh parsley, chives, and roasted sunflower seeds in a large bowl. This creates the base of your salad with a combination of crunchy textures and fresh flavors.
Make the dressing: Blend the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, fresh basil, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper in a blender or food processor until smooth and creamy. This dressing delivers the signature Herbaceous and tangy Green Goddess flavor.
Toss the salad: Pour the prepared dressing over the salad mixture. Toss everything together thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the creamy herb dressing.
Serve or chill: Serve the salad immediately for a crisp, fresh experience, or refrigerate for 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving. The salad can be enjoyed as a light lunch or a healthy side dish.

Notes

For additional protein, add grilled chicken to the salad.
If preparing the salad ahead of time, store the dressing separately to maintain freshness and prevent sogginess.
You can substitute sunflower seeds with toasted walnuts or pumpkin seeds for a different nutty flavor.
To enhance the flavor, zest some lemon over the salad before serving.
