Vegan Green Goddess Dip and Salads

Green Goddess Dressing...Yummy, creamy, and delicious!  This dressing used to be a thing of the past for us until we discovered a no-cholesterol alternative to mayo.  I have substituted Vegenaise for mayo here and have not sacrificed flavor in the least.  Here is a trifecta of fun and flavorful options for salads with Green Goddess dressing.

Dressing Ingredients:
1 ripe avocado
2 green onions
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1/2 cup fresh basil
1 large clove chopped garlic
3 tbsps fresh lime juice
1 cup Vegenaise
salt/pepper to taste
1 large head purple cabbage
lettuce leaves for garnish
veggies for dipping

To use as a dip:
Cut top off cabbage head and hollow out to make a bowl. To food processor, add first 8 ingredients and puree until blended. Add salt and pepper to taste. Spoon dressing into hollowed-out cabbage.  Make a bed of lettuce leaves for cabbage head.  Serve with veggies.

As an appetizer or tomato salad:
Slice heirloom tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices.  Cover tomatoes with a dollop of Green Goddess, then micro greens.  (The tomatoes pictured here are Romas as we didn't have any heirlooms- they work just as well.)

As dressing for a green salad:
Create your favorite green salad and toss with dressing right before serving.
