1 tablespoon olive oil

3. Blend the dressing until smooth, creamy, and bright green.
4. Taste the dressing and adjust with a little more lemon juice or salt if needed.

If you want to make it ahead, store the dressing and vegetables separately until serving time.
This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
