Sauce emulsification is the magic that happens when two liquids that normally don’t combine—like oil and vinegar—are combined into a smooth, stable mixture. Leveraging the powerful pulsing blade of a blender that rapidly whirls together the ingredients, the end result is a perfectly smooth, punchy, herbaceous and balanced dressing that's good enough to serve with just about anything! Ingredients: Salmon fillets • Green cabbage • Spinach • Lemon • Walnuts • Dried cranberries (cranberries, sugar, sunflower oil) • Rice vinegar (rice vinegar, sugar, salt) • Dijon mustard (mustard) (water, mustard seed, mustard flour, vinegar, salt, white wine, spices, xanthan gum, citric acid, tartaric acid) • Parsley • Green onion • Dill-garlic spice blend (sulphites) (dehydrated onion, dehydrated garlic, salt, dill weed, canola oil, silicon dioxide).

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Cook salmon
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • While pan heats, pat salmon dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper and half the Dill-Garlic Spice Blend.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then salmon. Reduce heat to medium. Cook for 2-3 min, until browned. Flip salmon and continue cooking for 2-3 min, until cooked through.**
Prep
2
  • While salmon cooks, roughly chop cabbage, then transfer to a large bowl.
  • Juice lemon.
  • Roughly chop parsley.
  • Thinly slice green onions, keeping greens and whites separate.
Make dressing
3
  • To a tall container or large glass measuring cup, add lemon juice, vinegar, Dijon, parsley, half the walnuts, green onion whites, remaining Dill-Garlic Spice Blend, 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) spinach, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 2 tbsp (1/4) cup oil. 
  • Season with salt and pepper. Using a hand blender, blend for 1-2 min, until evenly green and smooth. (NOTE: If you don't have a hand blender, use a regular blender)
Make salad and serve
4

 

  • To the bowl of cabbage, add cranberries, remaining green onions, remaining spinach and all but 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) of dressing. Toss to coat.
  • Divide salad between bowls.
  • Top with salmon. Spoon reserved dressing over top
  • Sprinkle remaining walnuts over top.

Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: The green goddess dressing is a standout — herbaceous, well-balanced, and a pleasant surprise for many. The combination of cabbage, spinach, and cranberries makes for a fresh, satisfying salad.
  • Ease of prep: Most reviewers found this recipe quick and easier than expected; a hand blender is essential for the dressing to blend smoothly at the small volume required.
  • Suggestions: If the dressing tastes too sharp, reduce the lemon juice slightly — using half a lemon rather than the full amount can balance the acidity. Adding a side like asparagus or avocado can round out the meal nicely.
  • Portions: Some reviewers felt the meal was on the lighter side; consider adding a simple side dish if you prefer a heartier serving.
