Chopped Green Goddess Salad

Absolutely delish! I know this recipe as Grapes Rockefeller without the brown sugar and nuts. The first time I had it, it was made with low-fat sour cream and low-fat cream cheese. Frankly that is the only way I make it since my family loves it! I always make it with red and green grapes for the color contrast. I'm thinking that strawberries, bananas and even blueberries would taste great paired with that yummy 'cheesecake-type' sauce. My teenage boys LOVE this stuff!


Chopped Green Goddess Salad

INGREDIENTS

Salad Ingredients
4 cups spinach
1-2 cups pea shoots
½ cup feta cheese
½ cup almonds, crushed or chopped
1 avocado, cut into chunks

Green Goddess Dressing
½ jalapeño pepper (I left the ribs and seeds - it was spicy and delicious)
⅔ cup Greek yogurt
Juice from 1 lime
¼ cup olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon agave nectar
½ teaspoon minced garlic
½ cup packed cilantro
2 scallions

INSTRUCTIONS

Puree all the dressing ingredients together, adding the cilantro last and stopping when the texture feels right to you. I went for little green flecks of cilantro and scallion throughout.
Toss the salad ingredients together with dressing; serve immediately.
