Green Goddess Salad with Chicken

Recipe Description

I absolutely love green goddess dressing and this Green Goddess Salad with Chicken is one of my all-time favorite summer salads. Green goddess is a combination of buttermilk, avocado and fresh herbs which give the dressing its characteristic green color. 

To make this salad, start by combining the dressing in a blender or food processor. I like to use a combination of tarragon, sorrel, mint, parsley, and cilantro but you can use any combination of herbs that you like. To prepare the salad, toss lettuce and cucumber in a bowl with a tablespoon of the dressing. Top with chicken, cheese and tomatoes. Simple, yet delicious!

To make Green Goddess Salad with Chicken, you will need the following ingredients:
