What does green goddess dressing taste like?

It tastes fresh and herby depending on the herbs you use and a little tangy. Since there is basil and dill in this preparation, these flavors shine through. We also have the sharp fresh flavor of garlic, lemon and vinegar to create a nice compliment to the refreshing taste of the herbs.

Can I replace the avocado?

To make this nut free, I opted for avocado in place of the cashews and walnuts that Melissa used. You can opt for that combination along with a bit of oil to get the same creamy dressing.

What is nutritional yeast?

Nutritional yeast is derived from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and is NOT the same as Brewers Yeast . It is often used in certain vegan or vegetarian recipes to provide a lovely boost of umami flavor and is described as having a savory, nutty, or “cheesy” flavor to it. It’s a great way to add more depth of flavor to a recipe especially if you want to add more of a savory element to a dish.

Instructions

To a small blender or food processor, add all of the dressing ingredients and blend until completely smooth then set aside.
Add your chickpeas to a large mixing bowl and lightly mash with a fork or potato masher until the chickpeas are mostly mashed or to the consistency you prefer.
Now, add in your cabbage, onion, cucumber, jalapeno along with a pinch of salt and pepper and toss together to mix.
Pour on the creamy dressing and then toss everything until fully coated.
Now assemble your sandwich. Spread hummus on one slice of toast and mustard on the other. Add extra spinach if desired to the bread with hummus and then top with the green goddess salad as desired. Top with the other slice of bread and enjoy.

Notes

Make sure to finely dice your vegetables. It doesn’t need to be perfect, but having the smaller vegetables will help make the mixture hold together better in your sandwich.

Mash your chickpeas to the consistency you prefer. Since this goes in a sandwich, I like mashing it up quite a bit with a few whole chickpeas here and there. This helps the salad hold together better once the dressing is added in the sandwich.

Add some extra seeds for more protein and extra crunch. I love to mix in some hemp hearts or sunflower seeds to change things up.

To store your salad, add it to an airtight container and press a sheet of plastic wrap on top of the salad to help reduce oxidation of the avocado. Place the container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
