Salad Challenge: Green Goddessphere at Sea

January 4, 2012 By Leanne Vogel July 7, 2015

This weeks’ salad challenge posts: Introduction, Sweet + Creamy Broccoli Salad I find that I am a lot more excited to prepare a big salad everyday when I have a fun and exciting homemade dressing to depend on. Some of my favorites are Smokey Bear Dressing, Sweet Almond Spread with a bit of water, and Maple Balsamic Dijon. But no dressing compares to the power of the Green Goddessphere. I promise, it’ll make any salad sing.

No matter what other random dressings I create on a weekly basis, there is always a batch of green goddessphere in the fridge. It combines perfectly with mashed hard boiled eggs, makes for a delicious veggie or chicken finger dip, and; of course, is a great addition to any greens salad, including this one!

This salad has all of the flavor of a California roll but with 0 grains and amped up veggies! Crumbling up nori sheets in your salad is a great way to increase your iron and iodine content easily which helps to maintain healthy blood and a happy thyroid.

Ingredients

4 cups mixed greens
100g/24 count cooked and tail removed shrimp
6 Brussels sprouts, steamed (optional)
½ avocado, diced
½ cucumber, diced
1 carrot, diced
1 nori sheet, crumbled
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
3 tablespoon green goddessphere dressing

Instructions

If you’re not a Brussels sprout fan, feel free to opt out. I love the texture they bring to salads, but it’s a preference thing. If you’re using, trim off the end of the sprout and cut in half lengthwise. Steam for 2-3 minutes until crisp tender. Remove from steamer and set aside.
Combine all ingredients in a big bowl, topping with green goddessphere dressing and stirring to coat.
Serve immediately
