Start by preparing the salad ingredients. Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber, remove the seeds if desired, and slice it thinly. Add to the bowl with lettuce.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the salad bowl.
Thinly slice the radishes and add them to the bowl.
Dice the avocado into small cubes and add to the salad.
Remove the seeds from the green bell pepper and slice it thinly. Add to the salad mixture.
Finely chop the fresh chives and parsley and add to the salad.
Add the sauerkraut to the salad for an extra tangy crunch.
Prepare the creamy Green Goddess dressing. In a small food processor, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, and peeled garlic cloves.
Process until the mixture is smooth and the garlic is finely minced.
Add salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the dressing. Process again until all ingredients are well combined and you achieve a creamy consistency.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
Serve immediately to retain the crispness of the salad and enjoy a refreshing low-carb meal.
