Green Goddess Salad Dressing

My friend Kary at My Farmhouse Kitchen recently mentioned that she had a salad with Green Goddess dressing and that it was very good. I realized that I had never eaten it before. I made it and I don't know what took me so long to discover this wonderful dressing.

It was perfect timing because all of my herbs are overproducing and this is the perfect recipe to use bunches of them. I cut lots of chives, parsley, dill, basil and tarragon.


Add a couple of anchovies and no, you will not taste them in the final product. They only enhance the flavor.


Saute' a small onion and 3 diced garlic cloves until beginning to soften.


Add 1 cup of mayonnaise , 1/2 cup of sour cream and 3 tablespoons of white wine vinegar along with the fresh herbs and anchovies to your food processor.

Pulse until it reaches a smooth consistency.


This gives you about 3 cups of dressing.


Depending on the salad, this can be a meal in itself.


I made a salad with a couple different lettuces, red onion, radishes, hard boiled eggs, bacon, tomatoes and cheese.


A couple of spoonfuls of Green Goddess makes this a very special salad.

Love green goddess. Thanks for sharing. We have a mix for it by Penzey Spices. But your way sounds awesome.
I've often heard of Green Goddess dressing, but I don't think I've ever had it.

That salad looks delicious!
I almost never have any vinegar at home but now I must buy it next time I´m close to a grocery store :-)

Have a great day!

Mmmm...that looks good. I have just gone vegan, and there is a product called Veganaise. Believe it or not, it is actually BETTER than regular eggy mayo. I shit you not. It's a bit thicker, so thinning it to make a dressing is perfect. Yesterday I had a salad of sweet potato (cooked:), olives, chives, cilantro, basil, pea shoots, dressed w/veganaise with a little of the olive liquid mixed in to it. Getting hungry just thinking about it!

I've never made my own Green Goddess dressing, but that trend is going to end right now! I'm so tired of our "regular" salads, and am looking for something to perk up our interests. This is a wonderful start!
Looks great! Any idea how much of each herb you used?
