Green Goddess Salad
Absolutely one of our new favs! Got this from Oprah dot com and oh my gosh! Grilling romaine? Who would have thought? I’ve done peaches and many veggies before, but this… THIS takes salad to a whole new level! Grilling brings out the nutty, almost caramel flavor in the romaine. Mix it with all the other ingredients and you have a healthy party in your mouth! Hope you enjoy this as much as we did.
Dressing Ingredients:
1 ripe Haas Avocado, halfed, pitted, and peeled.

1 Tbsp.- parsley, chopped
2 tsp.- tarragon
1 tsp.- chopped garlic
3 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp.- kosher salt
Fresh ground pepper to taste

Directions for dressing:
Add all ingredients to a food processor and mix until smooth or use your hand mixer as I did for ease, adding a little water as you go to make it thinner to drizzle. Stop when it’s a nice drizzley consistency.
