Green Goddess Dressing (Low Fat) image

This Bon Appétit Magazine recipe (March 2002) packs a lot of flavour but is very low in calories. It is great on green salads, sliced tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, or as a dip. You can substitute the yogurt for nonfat sour cream. Makes about 1 1/4 cups. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
