CHEF JOHN'S GREEN GODDESS DRESSING

This creamy, herby, addictively delicious sauce is not only my favorite salad dressing, but is one of my favorite dips as well. You can of course tweak the acidity with more or less lemon, as well as play with the salt and pepper, but please do not change the trio of herbs. The way the parsley and chive play against the sweet tarragon makes this unlike any other herb dressing.

GREEN GODDESS DRESSING

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will give your green goddess dressing the best flavor. If you can't find fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Don't over-process the dressing. Over-processing the dressing will make it too thick and creamy. Pulse the ingredients in a food processor or blender until they are just combined.
  • Taste the dressing before serving. Adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
  • Use the dressing immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The dressing will thicken as it sits, so you may need to thin it out with a little water or buttermilk before using.

Conclusion:

Green goddess dressing is a versatile dressing that can be used on salads, vegetables, and even meat. It's a healthy and flavorful way to add some extra zing to your meals. So next time you're looking for a new dressing to try, give green goddess dressing a try. You won't be disappointed!
