Ingredients

For the salad:

1 small head green cabbage

3-4 baby cucumbers (or 1 large cucumber)

1/4 cup chives

1 bunch green onions or scallions

For the dressing:

1 cup basil leaves

1 cup fresh spinach

2 cloves garlic

1 small shallot

2 lemons, juiced

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup nuts of your choice (I use raw, unsalted cashews and walnuts)

1/3 cup nutritional yeast

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Any extra chives you have on hand

Directions:

Wash and chop all of the salad ingredients with a sharp knife as small as you would like (I recommend confetti-sized). Place in a large bowl.

Add all of the liquid salad dressing ingredients to a blender (olive oil, lemon juice, rice vinegar). Add the rest of the dressing ingredients to the same blender.

Blend until your dressing is a thick, pourable consistency.

Pour the dressing over salad ingredients.

Mix well and enjoy!
