Tip 1: You can make Green Goddess salad easier to digest by swapping rice wine vinegar for apple cider vinegar in recipes that call for it. The acid in the ACV will help you digest the proteins in your meal.

Tip 2: Not feeling the salad today? Make a green goddess sandwich instead by spreading the dressing on two pieces of toast and sandwiching plenty of fresh veggies between the slices.
