Ready to get your salad on? Let’s do this!
Here are a few leafy green wonders to pair with this easy peasy dressing recipe:
1. BLUEBERRY BROCCOLI SPINACH SALAD
Though it looks like it’s straight out of a gourmet bistro, this simple (and speedy) blueberry broccoli salad is easily thrown together with just a few flavorful ingredients at home. Swap poppyseed ranch for my creamy avocado dressing – it’s amazing with both varieties!
2. CLASSIC ITALIAN VEGGIE PASTA SALAD
Omg YES. Just do it. There’s a homemade Italian dressing in this recipe that’s awesome but it’s also creamy and dreamy if you try it with my avocado dressing too. Skip the cheese, add the avo dressing, and prepare for an amped up macaroni-style salad with a fun new flavor!
3. SPIRALIZED CUCUMBER SALAD
This easy peasy salad is made up of gorgeous greens, crunchy carrots, and cucumber spirals and pairs marvelously with this tasty green dressing! No spiralizer? No problem! You can use a veggie peeler to make cucumber ribbons for this salad. Even better? You can do this with zucchini too and really veg it up!
4. Chopped Broccoli + Cauliflower Salad
Of course I had to mention the recipe that inspired this dressing in the first place! Featuring a tasty medley of broccoli, cauliflower, corn, and chickpeas, this veggie-packed chopped salad is ready to rock your lunch game. It’s also marvelous as a side salad for parties, picnics, and barbecues.
You had me at avocados! This is a definite must make!! Cannot wait to try!
