Ingredients required
Vegetables: Green Cabbage, cucumber, and green onion.Greens: you will need spinach for dressing.Herbs: basil, Mint, and chives for dressing.Nuts: To make the dressing creamy, you will need nuts. I have used almonds here. But you can use any nuts of your choice.Nutritional yeast: Gives very nice flavors.Aromatics: Garlic and shallots are used in making the dressing. It gives a wonderful aroma and taste.Rice vinegar – I would say this is one of the key ingredients in the salad dressing. If you don’t have rice vinegar, you can use regular vinegar too.Lemon juice: This really brightens up the salad.Jalapenos: To give a bit spicy kick, I have used jalapenos in my dressing. I like a bit of spice in my salad I have added it. But it’s completely optional. The original recipe doesn’t have Jalapenos.Olive oil: I have used extra virgin olive oil. I love its nutty flavors and aroma. But you can use light olive oil too.

The key to getting every veggie and flavor in a bite is dicing your vegetables really small.
