TIPS FOR MAKING CABBAGE DRESSING:
- Chop up everything finely. The beauty of this salad that made it go viral on TikTok is how everything is finely chopped in a way that makes the salad perfect for dipping with tortilla chips.
- Use a food processor for chopping. While that may sometimes release extra moisture in the vegetables, it’s a not a bad idea chop them that way, especially since you can then use the food processor for make the green goddess salad dressing.
- Don’t skip the olive oil in the dressing. The olive oil helps to emulsify the dressing to create a thick and creamy green goddess salad dressing. Otherwise the dressing may get watery or separate.
- Don’t add too much dressing. You can alter if you want to add all the dressing or just a little bit of dressing. It’s up to you on how you want the texture.
