For those busy weeks when eating healthy can feel like a chore, this big green salad recipe is perfect for making a large batch and storing in the fridge. Both the salad and the dressing maintain their texture and flavour throughout the week. Switch up the protein additions, and top with tortilla chips when you need some carbs. I’m obsessed with this dressing and have made a few different variations of it.

I made the parsley sauce on a whim and it ended up bringing the entire dish together with a zesty and herby brightness. This is a plant based meal I will be making for years to come - and it’s perfect to entertain guests.
