Dress up your salads with this bright and delicious salad dressing recipe.

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.

Variations

• Experiment with different herb blends to create a different dressing or dip every time you make it.
