Green Goddess Salad by Mia Rigden

Yield: 2 Servings
Vibrant and refreshing, this salad makes for a beautiful lunch or brunch dish, and an excellent use of your greens and herbs! The dressing is a vegan take on the classic, using avocado and tahini for creaminess, and capers for that brininess you usually get from a green goddess dressing. Enjoy with some salmon, roast chicken or a frittata.

  3. Divide the dressing between two shallow bowls or plates, spreading evening across the bottom of the dish.
  4. Arrange the little gems, cucumber, haricot vert, snap peas, hard boiled eggs and new potatoes nestled into the dressing.
