spinach saladIt's Week 4 of my "less meat" resolution, and we've been eating a TON of vegetables and feeling really great. Lately, one of our favorite no-meat meals is this Green, Green Salad with homemade Green Goddess dressing (herbs, lemon juice, and yogurt) inspired by a salad I had at one of my favorite vegetarian restaurants here in Chicago. It's really filling, healthy, and as you can tell from the name, everything in the salad is GREEN!

Green Green Salad

Raw baby spinach leaves

Pea pods

Edamame, shelled

Cucumber, peeled and sliced

Avocado, sliced

Green onions, sliced

Any other green veggies/food of your choosing

Salt and pepper

Homemade Green Goddess Dressing

1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon or dill

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon vinegar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2/3 cup plain yogurt

Combine spices, vinegar, and lemon juice. Whisk in yogurt. Toss salad in dressing.

What would you add to this Green, Green Salad?
