Description
I love the Balanced olive oil here, but change it up by using a mix of oils–Basil, Meyer Lemon, and Roasted Garlic are all lovely!
Ingredients
Scale
For the Avocado Green Goddess Dressing:
- 1 Avocado, halved and pit removed
- 1/2 cup fresh basil
- 2–3 Tbsp fresh chives, minced

- 6–8 cups mixed greens
- 1 cup diced cucumber

Instructions
For the salad dressing:
- Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired. If you want your dressing thinner, add additional olive oil or a drizzle of water to thin it out.
For the salad:
- Layer greens, veggies, and your steak. Top with croutons, peptitas, or pine nuts, and drizzle with dressing.
- Additional dressing will keep tightly covered for 3-4 days.
