Romaine Wedge Salad with Green Goddess Dressing

This creamy Green Goddess Dressing is a healthier salad dressing filled with herbs and garlic and is delicious over this simple romaine wedge salad.

I love the simplicity of this salad. You can make the dressing in advance and make many salad plates as you want until the dressing runs out.

Surprisingly my neglected basil has lived through the past month, thanks to the immense amounts of rain we’ve had here in San Antonio. Basil and green onions are the only herbs you’ll need!

Creamy dressings aren’t always healthy, but this one is! Plain Greek yogurt, Paleo mayo and lemon juice make up the base of the dressing.

Salads make a daily appearance on our table, year round! It’s nice to change them up though. Of course you can use this dressing with any salad you like or drizzle it over asparagus or even a baked potato would be good.

Use lots of coarse black pepper to finish things off!
