This bowl from the viral TikTok video from Baked by Melissa is just as delicious and scoop-able as it is in her video. Use a food processor to shred and chop the cabbage if your knife skills aren’t up to the task. The dressing is so tasty that we recommend mixing up an extra batch to use on grilled veggies, fish and even as a sauce for pizza!

Ingredients
For the salad
4 cups finely chopped green cabbage
3 mini cucumbers, chopped
5 scallions (green onions), trimmed and sliced
For the dressing
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 shallot, peeled
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup chives
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
¼ cup nuts (walnuts, cashews, almonds, etc.)
1 cup fresh basil
1 cup baby spinach
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Place the cabbage, cucumbers, and green onions in a large bowl. Set aside.
Add garlic, shallot, lemon juice, chives, oil, vinegar, nuts, basil, spinach and yeast to the bowl of a food processor and blend, scraping down the sides occasionally, until smooth, about 1 minute.
Pour dressing over cabbage and toss until well-combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Recipe Tip
If you don't have nutritional yeast, substitute equal parts grated Parmesan cheese.
