Behold the Green Goddess Salad! This salad is a mix of greens with radishes, carrots, celery, spiced chickpeas and pepitas topped with a delicious balsamic honey mustard dressing.
I have had multiple requests for a good salad recipe and realized I didn’t have a go-to salad! How can that be? It took multiple tries for me to perfect this one, and this beauty is what I came up with! This salad is great on its own as a light meal, as well as being a great side salad. Fresh and flavorful yet just simple enough to enjoy everyday. This salad is colorful and packed with plant based protein and fiber.
After creating this salad, I am motivated to create more simple and unique salads that would also be good as everyday salads- so be on the lookout!
If you make this salad, I would love to know what you think!! Please share comments and pictures of how it turns out for you! Happy cooking, friends!

This should keep in the fridge for a day or two before it gets soggy. If you know you will only eat part of it, wait to put the dressing on it until you are ready to eat.
