Green Goddess Shrimp Salad 🥑🥗🌱
It’s definitely heating up around here as summer is right around the corner. 👙🌞🏖
This is when I begin craving lighter meals such as this delicious shrimp salad when the days are scorching.
Does your appetite decrease a bit in the Summer too?
Just because I’m craving something a bit lighter, doesn’t mean I want to skip out on FLAVOR though.
This Green Goddess dressing is SO WORTH a few minutes of effort!
You’ll want to drizzle it on EVERYTHING all summer long.
Makes for a fabulous dip as well.
Tangy, creamy, and fresh tasting thanks to the fresh herbs.
It’s fun to make during the summer, SUPER satisfying, and very tasty!
I DO NOT eat a Low Carb diet personally, but I do enjoy lower-carb / higher healthy fat meals here and there ESPECIALLY throughout the summer months.
🐟 Don’t skip the anchovies!
Not only do anchovies add loads of satisfying flavor to this dressing, but they are also incredibly rich in healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, which are powerful at reducing inflammation.

This was so easy to throw together and delicious! I purchased unsweetened coconut yogurt (my husband is dairy intolerant) that I tried to eat for breakfast to use up the extra but it was horrible. I was worried about using it in the dressing but it turned out perfect! I will be mixing up another batch of the dressing today!
So happy this worked out great for you Ellen! <3 The dressing here is truly for keeps, glad you liked it! Thanks so much for the feedback. <3 - Rachel
