This post is brought to you by Tessemae’s All Natural. Thank you for supporting brands I love! All opinions are my own.
I took one of my very favorite salads- the Cobb salad- and ditched the lettuce, traded it for quinoa, and topped it with Tessemae’s All Natural Green Goddess Dressing. It’s phenom! It’s the perfect salad to throw together on busy week nights and all kinds of good for you:)
Besides, who doesn’t love a Cobb salad? Aren’t we all kind of in it for its yummy toppings? Chicken, bacon, avocado, tomato, hard boiled egg, blue cheese. Yes please.
Most Green Goddess dressings are made with a mayonnaise or sour cream base, but Tessemae’s is made with an olive oil base. With just a few additional ingredients, it has great flavor and its simplicity allows you to really taste all of the toppings in the salad. And there’s no guilt in pouring it all over your salad 🙂
Tessemae’s All Natural dressings are gluten free, dairy free, non-gmo, vegan, sugar free, and olive oil based. There’s a variety of flavors to chose from and all can be used as a dressing, cooking oil, marinade or even dipping sauce. The Green Goddess, Soy Ginger, and Lemon Garlic dressings are just a few of our favorites.
