Green Goddess Dressing

Is your salad dressing harming your health? The answer is probably yes. That’s because most healthy salad bottled salad dressings rely on inflammatory omega-6 rich oils (like soybean oil, grapeseed oil and other vegetable oils) as their base ingredient. But this dressing relies on olive oil and avocados — two of the best sources of inflammation-fighting monounsaturated fats — to add rich, creamy texture… healthfully.
