Farmer's Market Salad with Green Goddess Dressing
A salad for Farmer's Market Days! Made with butter lettuce, avocado, tomatoes, dates, corn, creamy goat cheese, cornbread croutons, and homemade Green Goddess dressing.
Ingredients
Farmer's Market Salad
- 8 cups torn lettuce of choice, I like butter lettuce or little gem best
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, or chopped tomatoes
- 1 large avocado, cubed
- 10 pitted dates, torn or chopped
- 1 cup grilled corn kernels*
- 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese, or dairy-free creamy cheese crumbles
- 2 cups cubed cornbread
Green Goddess Dressing
- 1/4 cup finely chopped tarragon leaves
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley leaves
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions, green parts only
- 1/2 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt or vegan mayo
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper
Instructions
Make the cornbread croutons
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Place the cornbread in a single layer and toast for ~10 minutes until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Make the dressing. Whisk together all of the ingredients for the Green Goddess dressing. Taste, adding more salt and pepper, as desired. I usually start with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and then add more if needed. Or, place all of the ingredients in a blender and puree.
- Make the salad. Add all of the ingredients to a large bowl and toss to combine. Drizzle with 1/3 cup of the dressing and toss, then divide into 4 bowls and drizzle with more dressing and freshly cracked black pepper.
Notes
*I love this salad when I have leftover corn. Or, in a pinch, Trader Joe's sells frozen corn kernels that you can warm up on the stove and let cool before adding to the salad.
