Rainbow Salad with Green Goddess Dressing Recipe

Rainbow salad with vegan green goddess dressing – bite into crunchiness and creaminess with this raw vegan salad.  It’s colorful, easy to make and ultra healthy.  Finally a vegan dairy free twist on an old classic- Green Goddess Dressing.

I’ve always loved green goddess dressing.  But I’ve never been able to find a good green goddess dressing recipe! Even the name appeals to me.  It sounds detoxifying and fresh!  I was always disappointed when I found out that the dressing recipe had mayo in it.  Finally I found away around that!

There are a few different ways to make a dairy free green goddess dressing recipe.  Instead of mayo you can use avocado or tahini.  For this recipe I chose to use a tahini base since it would last longer in the fridge.

It’s easy to make and blends up well in any high speed blender.  I prefer my vitamix!
