All the Green Salad: Green Lentils with Roasted Green Beans and Broccoli and Green Goddess Dressing

I have always loved the idea of Green Goddess dressings, but can't do a lot of dairy, so I found a way to make my own! I coupled that with this idea from Eating Well chock-full of green veggies and it makes the most hearty salad! It truly fills you up and is so yummy. And it's a salad you can save for leftovers by keeping the roasted veggies, dressing and lettuce separate. 

Green Lentils with Roasted Green Beans and Broccoli and Green Goddess Dressing

  • 4 cups  broccoli florets cut into small pieces 
  • 2 cups trimmed and halved green beans 
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2½ cups water
  • ¾ cup French green lentils, rinsed
  • 8 cups  green leaf lettuce
  • 2 cups thinly sliced dino kale
Dressing 
  • ½ cup fresh tarragon leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil 
  • 1 cup nonfat Greek Yogurt
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon white miso
  • 2 cloves garlic
  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. 
  2. Toss broccoli and green beans with oil, lemon pepper, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring once, until tender, about 20 minutes. 
  3. While that cooks, bring water and lentils to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook until tender, about 25 minutes. Rinse with cold water to cool off and drain well. 
  4. Combine dressing ingredients in a food processor. 
  5. Layer lettuce and kale, then top with the roasted vegetables. Serve with the dressing.
