Ingredients
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Avocado
- 4 small Radishes
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 50 grams Almonds
- 60 ml Olive oil

- 30 ml Lemon juice
- 120 ml Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Start by washing all the vegetables thoroughly under cold running water.
Tear the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds. Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the radishes. Dice the green bell pepper. Add all these sliced vegetables to the bowl with lettuce.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Chop it into cubes and add it to the vegetable mix.
Roughly chop the almonds for added crunchiness and sprinkle them over the salad.
To prepare the Creamy Green Goddess Dressing, combine olive oil, fresh basil leaves, fresh parsley, lemon juice, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and the garlic clove in a food processor or blender.
Blend until the dressing is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then blend once more to mix thoroughly.
Drizzle your beautiful Creamy Green Goddess Dressing over the salad just before serving, then toss gently to combine while ensuring an even coat on all ingredients.
Serve the salad immediately as a satisfying keto-friendly appetizer or light main course.
