Green Goddess dressing combines fresh herbs in a creamy, flavorful base for a perfect salad topper or dip.
What is Green Goddess Dressing?
It’s a creamy, tangy salad dressing or dip typically made with fresh herbs and anchovies (for umami), which give it its signature color and bold flavors. Add it to a chef’s salad, drizzle over romaine salad, or fresh summer tomatoes. Get creative with herb blends, acids (vinegar, lemon, or lime juice), or substituting other briny alternatives to the anchovies, such as capers.
Ingredients for Green Goddess Dressing
Herbs – Green Goddess dressing is packed with fresh herbs. In addition to parsley, try cilantro, dill, basil, tarragon, or mint. Anchovies – Anchovies are traditional in this dressing and add a salty and savory flavor. You can replace anchovy with capers if you’d prefer. Onions & Garlic – Use fresh garlic and green onions, or swap green onions for chives for a milder flavor. For a bolder flavor, use red onion. Vinegar – Use white vinegar to keep the color green. Lemon or lime juice can be substituted. Base – Full-fat mayonnaise is best as reduced fat tends to be a bit sweeter. Sour cream or Greek yogurt can be used interchangeably in this dressing.
