Mediterranean Chopped Salad with Vegan Green Goddess Dressing
Chopped romaine, spinach and naturally gluten free quinoa serve as the base to this Greek-inspired salad with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, artichoke hearts, shallots and pita chips! Everything is tossed in a creamy vegan green goddess dressing that packs a punch of flavor.
Start by chopping all ingredients for the salad and combining them into a large serving bowl.
In a blender, add all ingredients for the green goddess dressing, then blend on low speed gradually increasing to high speed until nice and smooth. Taste for seasonings and adjust if needed.
Pour dressing onto salad and toss well. Serve topped with more pita chips and enjoy!
Notes
To cook quinoa: rinse 1/2 cup of dry quinoa well in a mesh sieve, then add to saucepan. Cover with 1 cup of water or chicken broth then bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower heat to simmer and cook until liquid has absorbed, about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly before adding to cold salad.
