There’s more to super-healthy matcha than tea. You can add the antioxidant-packed green tea powder to tabouleh, guacamole, gazpacho, smoothies, even soup. A little goes a long way—start with one-quarter to one-half teaspoon per serving.
This recipe makes matcha even more nutritious and delicious by combining it with avocado, yogurt, fresh herbs and lemon juice. If you wind up eating salads more frequently just to enjoy the dressing, so much the better.
