Hear me out: I think that cabbage deserves to be a salad green more often, just like its cousin kale. It’s affordable, nutrient-dense, satisfyingly crunchy and keeps for AGEs so you won’t end up with a mysterious mush in the back of your produce drawer if you forget about it for a day or two.
And I can’t think of a better way to eat it than slathered in an herby, creamy green goddess dressing so good you’ll want to put it on everything. Don’t call this a slaw: this vegan green goddess salad is such a good side salad for picnics, BBQs and potlucks but you can also make it a satisfying lunch or dinner served with a protein like my tofu skewers.

A couple of prep notes from my home kitchen
This easy cabbage salad is my take on the viral green goddess salad recipe but I’ve shredded the cabbage for a lighter, crisp texture that’s actually a lot easier to prep (and eat!) but you can finely chop the cabbage too if you prefer.
Nutrition Note: okay, dietitian me needs you to know that this salad is naturally vegan, nut free and gluten free and even low FODMAP, as long as you omit the chickpeas! Which makes it so good for gatherings because more folks can enjoy it, no matter their dietary needs.
