This green goddess salad packs all my favorite ingredients into one bowl, green leaf lettuce, avocado, lots of fresh herbs and garlicky toasted bread! Get the recipe below!
I love this creamy green goddess salad with basil-tahini dressing! It’s great on its own but also pairs perfectly with roasted chicken, fish or crispy falafel.
Toasted bread in a salad is kind of my thing! Whatever you do don’t buy store-bought croutons. They’re truly not good at all. I always keep a few slices or ends of bread in the freezer. Let them defrost then toast in olive oil and garlic and toss them into you’re salad.
