GREEN GODDESS DRESSING



Green Goddess Dressing image

This bright and vibrant dressing has evolved since it originated in 1920s California. Earlier versions contained tarragon, anchovies, Worcestershire or avocados. Our reimagined classic is full of fresh, tender herbs, lemon and a balanced blend of yogurt and mayonnaise.

GREEN GODDESS DRESSING



Green Goddess Dressing image

Green Goddess is a California classic. It makes a great dip for crudités and a wonderful dressing for robust lettuces like romaine hearts, but it's too thick and intense for delicate spring mixes. Although I've made the anchovies optional, I recommend them because they add depth to the flavor. If salt is an issue for you, leave them out.
