Creamy Parsley Dressing Recipes

CREAMY GARLIC, PARSLEY, AND FETA DRESSING

We suggest pairing this garlicky dressing with mixed greens such as Boston lettuce and watercress, or drizzling it over grilled tofu or chicken for a light yet satisfying meal. If you prefer a milder dressing, cut back the garlic to two teaspoons. Recipe adapted from Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.

PEAR AND PARSLEY SALAD WITH ALMONDS AND CREAMY PARSLEY DRESSING

Parsley is the star of this simple green salad. It's not often that the herb, typically used as a garnish, shines as brightly as it does here, with a vibrant note that elevates the lettuce. The dressing is on the heavy side, so take care not to overdress the delicate lettuce. Leftover dressing will keep in the refrigerator for two days and is fantastic as a sandwich spread or a dip for chips.
