Opting for a change in my salad jar routine, I swapped out my usual vinaigrette dressing and decided to explore the flavors of the Green Goddess Dressing. This Vegan Green Goddess Dressing is not just for salads, it can be used as a dip, or you can spread it on wraps for a flavor upgrade. This recipe features avocado and nutritional yeast which are full of nutritional value.
