Weight loss salad recipe. This high protein salad recipe for weight loss, is a filling meal for lunch or for dinner. Its loaded with healthy fats, fibre and protein making it a super filling weight loss salad recipe. The green goddess salad dressing is vegan and dairy free. The salad dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for upto 4 days.

Steamed salad or rather tossed salad is ideal for those who cannot tolerate raw salads and is a perfect bowl of warm meal for dinner. I used vegetables that are easily available in my part of the world, however, you can use any vegetables or greens of your choice. The salad dressing takes this salad to the next level. If you are in a hurry, you can always make ahead the salad dressing. Leftover salad dressing can be used as a dipping sauce or spread for sandwiches. 

I used soaked and peeled almonds for healthy fats however, you can use soaked cashews, walnuts or any nut of your choice. My personal favorites are cashews and almonds but when you use almonds make sure you soak it overnight and peel them.
