I love wandering around the farmers' market with no list or menu plan; I pick up whatever looks fresh, local and organic and figure out what to do with it when I get home.
This Farmers' Market Salad is a delicious mix of seasonal veggies topped with a creamy Vegan Ranch Dressing. You can really play around with the ingredients in this salad by grabbing whatever is in season and plentiful at your farmer’s market. The Vegan Ranch Dressing gets its creaminess from avocados instead of mayo, and is bursting with flavorful herbs. This salad is really easy to make, as most of the time is spent prepping the vibrant fresh veggies.
