Рецепт Gorgonzola & Kale Chopped Salad with Green Goddess Dressing
Gorgonzola & Kale Chopped Salad with Green Goddess Dressing
January 11, 2015 By: Kathy Stegercomment
A good salad is an essential side to a well balanced dinner and I prefer mine with some substance to it. Lot’s of flavor with each bite is a must but the star is always the dressing. Green goddess dressing is my absolute favorite. The combination of herbs, garlic and creaminess from the sour cream and mayo is super. I can eat the stuff by the spoon full all on its own. Smooth, creamy and vibrantly green this dressing is a recipe each cook should have in their recipe box. There are so many variations, my favorite includes parsley, cilantro and lots of dill. Ever since discovering the Grape Seed Oil Vegenaise I have abandoned mayo all together. It’s so delicious and takes this dressing to another level. The creamy gorgonzola crumbles and spicy-salty pepperoncini peppers compliment the coolness of the cucumber and the sweetness of cherry tomatoes. Topped with green goddess dressing it is just out of this world good. If you prefer to make this salad into a meal of its own I suggest pairing it with shrimp like my Simply Succulent Grilled Shrimp or grilled thinly sliced steak. For a vegetarian version roasted chickpeas make a wonderful addition.
I’m sad the weekend is over. I seriously enjoyed the lazy Sunday of lounging on the couch.
