Green Goddess Salad Recipe
A delicious Green Goddess Salad recipe that is packed with flavor and easy to make + a homemade dressing! Perfect for summer!
Ingredients
Green Goddess Dressing:
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup fresh chives
- 1/4 cup fresh tarragon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Crispy Shallots:
- 1-2 shallots thinly sliced
- 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salad:
- 4 cups romaine chopped
- 2 cups butter lettuce chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon chopped
- 1 avocado sliced or cubed
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 2-3 tablespoons parmesan cheese grated or shaved
- 4-5 green onions sliced
- 3 cups english cucumbers sliced
Instructions
- Make Dressing: Add all ingredients to a food processor. Blend or pulse until fully combined - don't over-blend - there should still be little pieces of dark green herbs, but not chunky. Taste and adjust any flavors, seasonings, etc. as-desired.
- Make Crispy Shallots: Add oil to cast iron skillet and bring to medium heat. Add sliced shallots and sauté for 4-5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and cook until browned, approx. 3-4 minutes. Use slotted spoon or spatula to remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Assemble Salads: Divide romaine lettuce, butter lettuce, dill, tarragon, avocado, feta, parmesan, green onion, cucumber and crispy shallots between 2 bowls. Top with the Green Goddess Dressing and some fresh cracked pepper.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately with some, optional, grilled bread!
Notes
- Green Goddess Dressing - of course use store-bought if you prefer, but for best results use the homemade version included in the recipe card. Any extra dressing can easily be stored in the fridge to use on another salad.
- Crispy Shallots - don't skimp on the crispy shallots! They add so much flavor to this easy salad!
- Storage: you can keep this salad in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days, but we highly recommend storing the salad, crispy shallots, and salad dressing in separate containers to prevent sogginess.
