Green Goddess Salad Recipe
This Green Goddess Salad mixes chopped iceberg lettuce, baby spinach, and arugula with cucumber and green onions in an insanely delicious green goddess dressing. Easy to modify, it's the perfect salad main or side dish.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups iceberg lettuce chopped
- 2 cups baby spinach roughly chopped
- 2 cups arugula
- 1 large English cucumber quartered then sliced
- 1 cup green onions sliced
- 1 cup green goddess salad dressing (approx. one cup)
Green Goddess Dressing
- 1 cup baby spinach packed
- ¼ cup fresh basil leaves packed
- ¼ cup fresh parsley leaves packed
- 1 bunch fresh chives miced
- ¼ cup mayonnaise plus more to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper plus more to taste
Instructions
- Combine the lettuce, spinach, arugula, cucumber, and green onions in a large salad bowl. Toss the salad ingredients together until well-mixed.
- Drizzle the desired amount of green goddess dressing over the salad. Start with half and add more according to your taste preference.
- Use salad tongs or forks to gently toss the salad, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
For the Green Goddess Dressing
- Add all of the dressing ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend or process the ingredients until smooth and well combined. Season to taste. For best results, refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Leftovers: This salad can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days without the dressing. Iceberg lettuce turns brown pretty quickly - for a heartier, crunchier green, try swapping the iceberg for cabbage.
Optional additions or substitutions:
- Romaine lettuce
- Kale
- Cabbage
- Cilantro
- Avocado
- Grilled shrimp, chicken, or steak (so good!)
