How long it takes: 10 minutes Equipment you’ll need: blender or food processor Servings: 12 Beautiful. Don’t you just love that creamy green tint? I think I could paint a wall with it. Then I could just head to the “Green Goddess room” whenever I wanted. Better than store-bought. You can buy Green Goddess dressing in a bottle at the grocery store but I guarantee it won’t taste anything like homemade. How can it when the fresh herbs play such a starring role? Easy and good for you. This recipe has a yogurt base and tons of green herbs, which are basically extra tasty green leafy vegetables, with all the vitamins and antioxidants you could wish for. Versatile. Try green goddess dressing on a simple green salad, as a dip for veggies, or spread it on a sandwich. I think you’ll love it! Love all the herbs but not into creamy dressings? Try Chimichurri, homemade Basil Pesto, or Salsa Verde. Lots of herbal pleasure!

What does Green Goddess dressing go with?
Make It Your Own
Substitute other herbs: As long as you end up with nearly a cup of chopped herbs, the dressing will turn out delicious. Use your favorites or what you have available. Make your own unique herb dressing. I wouldn’t recommend using a cup of tarragon or a cup of chives, though. Try to have a mix of at least a few herbs. Use dried herbs: If you can’t find fresh herbs, substitute dried. Use about 1 teaspoon of dried herbs for every tablespoon of fresh, since dried are more potent than fresh. Vegan green goddess: Looking for a vegan recipe? Try this green goddess recipe with avocado and olive oil by The Foodie Dietitian. Vegetarian green goddess: The anchovies add umami, a subtle flavor boost that could also be achieved by adding a tablespoon of capers or green olives. Or just make the dressing with no anchovies — with so many herbs, you’re not likely to miss the umami.
Make Ahead Tip
If you have a lot of fresh herbs that need to be used, blend or process the herbs along with the vinegar, oil, garlic, anchovies, salt and pepper. Freeze the mixture and thaw it when you’re ready to make the dressing. Simply add the yogurt and mayonnaise and whisk the dressing until it’s smooth. Here’s some ideas: Spoon it on a steamed artichoke, broccoli florets, or asparagus spears. Use it for a delicious dip, or a flavorful sandwich spread. Mix it with cooked chicken breast, and diced celery for easy chicken salad. Use it instead of tartar sauce with fish. Dip homemade French fries or roasted sweet potatoes wedges in green goddess. Or serve it with crispy roasted potatoes. Drizzle it over vegetarian tacos or cauliflower nachos. You get the point, I’m sure. This creamy herb dressing goes with pretty much everything.
Storage Tips
Refrigerate leftovers in a tightly covered container for up to a week. If dressing separates, just give it a good stir to combine.
