Description
To understand this dish, you have to look beyond a simple bowl of greens. A Green Goddess Chicken Salad Bowl is a structured, nutrient-dense meal that prioritizes “green” ingredients. The name comes primarily from the dressing, which is traditionally a thick, creamy concoction loaded with fresh herbs like basil, parsley, and chives. Unlike a standard vinaigrette, this dressing acts as a rich sauce that coats every ingredient, making the salad feel more like a decadent meal than a side dish.
Ingredients
For the salad:
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast (shredded or sliced)
- 1 cup romaine lettuce (chopped)
- 1 avocado (sliced)
- ½ cup cucumber (sliced)
- ¼ cup green peas (fresh or thawed)
- ¼ cup broccoli (lightly steamed)
- 2 tbsp green onions (chopped)
For the Green Goddess dressing:
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp fresh basil
- 1 tbsp fresh chives
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, basil, and chives. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, arrange romaine lettuce as the base. Add chicken, avocado, cucumber, peas, broccoli, and green onions.
Drizzle the Green Goddess dressing over the salad.
Gently toss everything together or serve as a composed bowl. Enjoy fresh!
