Greek Salad With Lemon Dressing
This dressing is LIFE CHANGING! I am going to share with you my favorite dressing that has changed my salad game. I make this dressing in batches and use it on everything throughout the week! So many people have asked me to share this salad dressing because it is so versatile and works on every type of salad. This dressing is inspired by cookieandkate.com/ "Liquid Gold" recipe from her amazing vegetarian cook book "Love Real Food".
I make a variation of this salad almost every day for an easy weekday lunch! Make the dressing in batches to save you time making lunch everyday. I topped mine with roasted pecans, almonds, avocado, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, hemp hearts and tossed with lemon dressing. Add whatever you would like to the salad!
Ingredients:
4 cups of lettuce (my favorite is hydroponic)
1/4 cup of roasted pecans
1/4 cup almonds
1/4 cup feta cheese
1 cucumber (diced)
1 tomatoe (diced)
1/4 cup diced red onion
1 avocado (diced)
1/4 cup hemp hearts
Zippy Lemon Dressing
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
2 Tbs. pure honey
3 Tbs. Dijon mustard
2 Tbs. minced garlic
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions:
Dice up all the toppings and combine with lettuce. Toss evenly in a large salad bowl and combine with all ingredients.
For the dressing, combine all the ingredients and shake well. Shake until the dressing is completely mixed together and thickens.
Dress the salad evenly and enjoy!
