04 - 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped

05 - 25 g fresh basil leaves

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Finely shred the green cabbage and place it in a large mixing bowl. Add sliced spring onions, diced cucumber, and chopped chives to the bowl and toss gently to combine.
02 - Combine basil leaves, spinach leaves, lemon juice, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and nuts (if using) in a blender. Blend until smooth, then slowly drizzle in olive oil while blending to create a creamy texture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
03 - Pour the dressing over the prepared vegetables. Toss well to evenly coat all ingredients with the dressing.
04 - Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to enjoy a chilled salad that retains its crunch and freshness.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - For a nut-free version, omit the nuts and add an extra tablespoon of olive oil for creaminess.
02 - Use cold vegetables for extra crispness and a refreshing texture.
