Green Goddess Dressing

Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ avocado
  • ¼ c coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • ¼ c cilantro
  • 2 T chopped tarragon
  • 3 Tbsp chopped chives
  • 2 Tbsp lime juice
  • 2–4 canned anchovies
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Put all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, about 30-45 seconds. Use as a salad dressing or dip for vegetables! The dressing should last about a week in the fridge.

To Make the Taco Meat:

To make this taco meat, start with 2 lb ground beef (I use @_prebrands Ground Beef!)

• Mix 1 batch of the Taco Seasoning recipe found here.

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Put ground beef into the skillet. Cook while stirring until the beef is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes.

• Pour entire taco seasoning mixture and ¼ c water over the beef and stir. Bring to a simmer and cook until the moisture absorbs into the meat, about 5 minutes. Do not overcook, as the meat will dry.

THE PERFECT TACO SALAD:

Ingredients:

• 1 head of romaine, chopped

• Pico de gallo (tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt)

• Fried plantains (slice and fry in olive or coconut oil until golden on both sides)

• Guacamole
