Ingredients
For the Salad
- 2 cups spinach
- 2 cups chopped kale massaged with olive oil
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 TBS hemp hearts
Green Goddess Dressing
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 medium avocados or 2 small, pitted and fleshed
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves a small handful
- 2 TBS tahini
- 1 TBS apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp pink salt to taste
Instructions
- Toss spinach and kale in large bowl, top with cherry tomatoes and hemp hearts. Set aside.
- In a small blender or food processor add all of your dressing ingredients–if using a NutriBullet it helps if you add the ingredients in the order above–and process until smooth. Dressing is pretty thick, so if you want it thinner you can add more water 1-2 tablespoons at a time.
- Toss dressing with salad, or serve individually. Enjoy!
