Notes

  • Chill the Dressing: Prepare the dressing 30 minutes ahead and refrigerate to meld flavors.
  • Keep it Crisp: Add dressing just before serving to prevent soggy vegetables in this summer salad.
  • Chop Evenly: Cut veggies into uniform bite-sized pieces for a balanced texture.
  • Taste Test: Adjust lemon juice or salt in the dressing to suit your preference.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh basil, parsley, and chives are key to a vibrant green goddess dressing.
