One of the main reasons why most people don’t like salads is because they’re so boring. There’s just nothing to them, right? There are some leaves, there are some crunchy bits if you’re lucky, and there’s just no substance to fill up even the tiniest hunger hole in your stomach. But what if we told you that this didn’t have to be the case? The rules go out of the window with this Anything-Goes Green Goddess Salad, and we bet you’ll soon be coming back for more…
The Green Goddess
If you’re familiar with the green goddess salading dressing, you’ll know that it’s creamy, herby, and totally greeny. This dressing can be traced back to the 1920s, but one of the best things about this particular dressing is the fact that it can be played up and played down in so many different ways. Sure, you could follow distinct and accurate recipes, or you could add in whatever you like and make it your own.
The Main Ingredients
To make your Anything-Goes Green Goddess Salad, you’ll need to make the green goddess dressing. For this, you’ll need three different ingredients. For starters, you’ll need some kind of cultured dairy product. What’s so great about this dressing, though, is the fact that you can choose your own dairy. You could opt for plain yogurt, you could choose buttermilk, or you could have sour cream if you wanted to. Then, you’ll need the combination of herbs of your choice. After that, you’ll need some kind of acid, which could come in the form of vinegar, lemon juice, or anything else you fancy.
Putting It All Together
Once you have made this main ingredient, it’s time to add what you want to this salad. You’ll probably want some leaves, maybe some chicken, avocado, and even some chips if you’re that way inclined. The beauty is that it’s your own creation.
