Vegan Green Goddess Dressing

My friend shared this perfect, creamy salad recipe with me and I have been hooked since. It's quick and easy to make, dairy-free, creamy and herby and loaded with anti-inflammatory, expectorant, and anti-bacterium natural ingredients. I use it in so many different ways too, goes great with my green goddess salad (romaine, chickpeas, carrots, cherry tomatoes, radish, cabbage, cucumber, hard boiled eggs, and pumpkin seeds), but I also pair it with my meats & fish. 

A multi-use salad dressing full of flavor and nutrition? Yes, please!
