Green Goddess Salad

This Green Goddess Salad is an easy, great summer salad with avocado, cucumber, peas and a green goddess dressing.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Dressing:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 clove garlic smashed and peeled
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ½ cup fresh parsley leaves lightly packed
  • ¼ cup fresh tarragon leaves
  • ¼ cup sliced chives

For the Salad:

  • 2 cups romaine hearts roughly chopped
  • 2 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1 English cucumber, cut into 1/4" thick half-moons
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • ½ cup diced celery
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds for garnish

Instructions

For the Dressing:

  • Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, and garlic to the bowl of a food processor fitted with an S-blade and pulse until the garlic is minced. This will take about 30 seconds.
  • Add the lemon, parsley, tarragon, and chives. Pulse for about 45 seconds or until the herbs are finely chopped and the dressing is your desired consistency.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

For the Salad:

  • Add all of the salad ingredients to a large bowl.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss to serve.
  • Sprinkle the almonds over the top and serve immediately. The avocado will brown if it sits, and the almonds will soften, so serve immediately.

Notes

You can use whatever mix of lettuce you’d like. I like the crispness of romaine hearts and the flavor of the mixed greens.
