Just because this dressing is delish, doesn’t mean it can’t also be packed with protein!
By including cottage cheese and our Homestyle bone broth in the dressing, you’re getting a serious hit of collagen and extra protein before you even add chicken to the salad. Combined with all the prebiotic fiber in the greens and veggies, you’ve got a total win for gut health. It’s creamy, zesty, and crunchy – and turns your salad into a powerhouse meal that satisfies.

- ½ packet Homestyle bone broth
