Green Goddess Shrimp Salad

It’s definitely heating up around here as summer is right around the corner.

This is when I begin craving lighter meals such as this delicious shrimp salad when the days are scorching.

Does your appetite decrease a bit in the Summer too?

Just because I’m craving something a bit lighter, doesn’t mean I want to skip out on FLAVOR though.

This Green Goddess dressing is SO WORTH a few minutes of effort!

You’ll want to drizzle it on EVERYTHING all summer long.

Makes for a fabulous dip as well.

Tangy, creamy, and fresh tasting thanks to the fresh herbs.

It’s fun to make during the summer, SUPER satisfying, and very tasty!

I DO NOT eat a Low Carb diet personally, but I do enjoy lower-carb / higher healthy fat meals here and there ESPECIALLY throughout the summer months.

Don’t skip the anchovies!

Not only do anchovies add loads of satisfying flavor to this dressing, but they are also incredibly rich in healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, which are powerful at reducing inflammation.
