          Is anyone concerned about the sodium in this recipe? Dangerous. Not even going to try it.

            I substituted for chicken instead of the processed meats.

            When you are on keto you need a little more sodium.

            I think its in the egg? If you buy pre hard boiled eggs they come in a salt solution. Idk tho

          It’s very delicious. I modified the dressing and added the following: avocado, lemon juice. Grated garlic, plain yogurt, Worcestershire sauce, minced green onions, fresh basil, tarragon, salt, pepper, and MCT oil. It was out creamy and was easy to spread

          Too much onion. Dressing is too little for the amount of greens that go with it and too small to pulse or get creamy.

              The dressing in this recipe needs to be rewritten. There isn’t enough to make in a food processor as recommended. I used a stick blender in a pint jar and I still had to add more ingredients to make it work. Added vinegar, olive oil, and more lemon juice. Then you have to make adjustments for the added ingredients. Other than that it was delicious. I was able to use my own fresh parsley, basil, and a green onion from my garden. Not a fan of cilantro so I used parsley.

                Pretty bad. Buy your own green goddess dressing and try, but you'll end up using way too much and throw your macros off. Not enough liquid to cover all that.

                  This is my first time dieting and honestly this salad was really good I did use regular ranch instead of the green goddess dressing and I used chicken instead of turkey.

                      This just didn't work out for me. I put all of the work into prepping to make the dressing just to find out my processor doesn't work. So I used ranch dressing. It was very good with ranch lol

                        Just wondering if the dressing will hold up if I make it the night before? Anyone tried this that can let me know? I’d much appreciate it!

                          Before making this I read the comments indicating need for more flavor and more liquid to make dressing. Instead of the small herb measurements, I used a small handful of the basil and cilantro and added 4 tablespoons of the unsweetened milk and the dressing was pretty good. It was definitely runny enough to toss over all the greens.

                            I dislike onions so omitted those, used grilled chicken-Walmart’s meat section has sliced pre-packaged varieties we top salads with, just mixed some EVOO and Mrs. Dash for dressing
