Green Goddess Dressing

I always tell my clients that the key to loving your salad is having an incredible dressing. Store bought dressings are packed with sugar, unhealthy oils and lots of preservatives. Let’s be honest- they also don’t taste great. My go to quick and easy dressing at home is always a mixture of balsamic, dijon, honey and olive oil but it is fun to change it up from time to time.

One of the best ways to add loads of flavour to any dish is to utilize fresh herbs! I love using fresh herbs in all of my meals, and I ALWAYS have leftovers. What better way to use them then to throw them into a blender to make a delicious fresh dressing that is perfect for salads, pasta and even fish.

Be warned, this dressing is literally drinkable. It pairs really well with a salad filled with fresh seasonal vegetables, roasted sweet potatoes, toasted almonds and a hard boiled egg. What’s great is you can use pretty much any herbs of your liking.
