Find your inner goddess (and weight loss) with the help of this Green Goddess Salad recipe! Packed with nutritional value and tossed with a homemade dressing, this refreshing and hearty recipe is bookmark-worthy!

In case you haven’t guessed it, this yummy Green Goddess Salad gets its name from the colors of the fresh ingredients. The foundation of this salad is built on Brussels sprouts, kale and edamame. They provide a healthy and tasty base that is easily customizable. The more flavorful flair comes from the hearty quinoa, appetizing almonds and the pretty (and tasty!) Parmesan.

The Green Goddess Salad is delicious and nutritious on its own, but topping it off with a delectable Dijon dressing kicks your meal up a notch. Both the salad and the dressing are easy and quick to whip up, but fresh and exotic enough to impress all your friends and family.

Throwing the salad together is as easy as shredding, chopping, cooking, shaving and slicing up the various ingredients and tossing them together in a bowl. After that, you can whisk together the ingredients for the Dijon dressing, and this juicy salad is ready to go!

Fitting veggies into your diet can be fun and fresh, but sometimes you’re just not in the mood for a salad—do not fret!
