Notes
- -I used my NutriBullet to make sure the the dressing was well blended. -If making salad for one portion, dressing will keep fresh in airtight container in fridge for up to 5 days. -Dressing as written will serve about 4 people, with each serving size 1.5-2 TBS -Add about 1 TBS of water if you prefer a thinner dressing. -Salad pairs well with grilled chicken, or balsamic glazed salmon. -If looking for a vegetarian protein option, lentils, tempeh, and quinoa are all great plant-based sources!
