Hey friends! The other day, my husband and I were craving something healthy, so we decided to temporarily ditch the sugar and spice and "go green" with a tasty Green Onion Dressing Salad served with homemade roast beef panini. We ended up with a fast, light meal that was as easy as pie to prepare.
Things I loved about this recipe:- Other than the pomegranate (which I couldn't find), it uses basic ingredients that you may already have in your pantry or can easily pick up at the market
- It makes about 8-10 salad dressing portions, so you can always refrigerate the leftovers (and trust me, you WILL want to save the leftovers!)
- The dressing is versatile and tastes great not only with the veggies listed below, but also on other mixed greens, etc. Try it on a salad with pears, apples, or strawberries. We used some of our leftover dressing on a terrific taco salad with steak.
