Heathy Bridal Recipe // Green Goddess Dressing

Written with love, by Jennifer Dene

Wouldn’t it be nice to pack an even greater nutritional punch to your salads without having to eat more vegetables?

Guess what, you can!

This week I am showing you how to make Green Goddess Dressing, one of my favorite dressings for salads, meat and grain dishes, or even to drizzle on sandwiches.

So put that store-bought salad dressing back on the shelf (chances are it’s high in sugar and additives) and get in the kitchen to blend up this super quick and easy dressing.

 

5 Reasons Why You’ll Love Green Goddess Dressing:

♥ It’s a tasty way to pack more vegetables into your salad
♥  Being mineral-rich and alkalizing it helps to boost your immunity during all of those engagement events
♥  The healthy fats will keep you fuller for longer and will help to curb afternoon sugar cravings
♥  Adding this nutrient dense dressing to your diet will help to improve the appearance of your skin, hair and nails
♥  You can tweak the recipe to include your favorite vegetables and healthy fats (try it with zucchini and toasted walnuts)!

 

Get the ingredients list below and watch my quick "How To" video tutorial.

 

The Recipe:

●      1 ripe avocado
●     
4 tablespoons full fat coconut milk
●     
handful chopped fresh herbs (such as mint, parsley and basil)
●     
2 tablespoon pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
●     
juice of 1/2 lemon
●     
water to thin if needed
●     
salt and pepper to taste

Add avocado, coconut milk, parsley, seeds and lemon juice to a small food processor or high-speed blender and blend until combined and creamy. Add additional water to thin if necessary (approximately 1 tablespoon) and season to taste.

Keep dressing in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to four days, and use liberally on all of your savory dishes.

Now I’d love to hear from you. Have you tried adding vegetables into your salad dressing before? Are you willing to give it a try to boost your bridal beauty? Let me know in the comments below!
