GREEN GODDESS DRESSING



Green Goddess Dressing image

Green goddess has been around for about a hundred years, but it's arguably more popular now than it has ever been: Restaurants are drizzling the dressing on anything and everything, and Trader Joe's fans love it so much, the grocery chain now sells a seasoning mix, dip and even a green goddess - flavored gouda. TikTokers have had their way with green goddess too: The founder of Baked by Melissa, Melissa Ben-Ishay, posted a green goddess chopped salad that has racked up 21 million views and counting. These days, the name green goddess can apply to any variety of herby salad dressing, but the original recipe - invented at San Francisco's Palace Hotel in 1923 - included chives, anchovies, scallions and parsley. Here's our take on the dressing.

SALAD WITH CREAM DRESSING



Salad With Cream Dressing image

The inspiration for this salad that my wife prepares occasionally at home comes from the area of France where I was raised, near Lyon. It is always better done at home; the dressing lends itself to individual rather than high-volume preparation, and the delicacy required to properly clean and thoroughly dry the greens without bruising them is more easily achieved in the home kitchen. The salad should be cool but not ice cold, and should be tossed at the last minute, just before serving, especially if Boston or red-tipped leaf lettuce is used.

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     easy, quick, condiments, salads and dressings

Time 10m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 tablespoon good red-wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Remove and discard any damaged outer lettuce leaves and tear the lettuce into two-inch pieces. Wash in a sink full of cool water, lifting the lettuce from the water and placing it in a salad dryer. Dry thoroughly. You should have about eight cups of greens.
  • For the dressing, place the vinegar, pepper, salt and cream in a salad bowl and mix together with a spoon, preferably wooden.
  • At serving time, toss the greens with the dressing and serve immediately.

Categories     Milk/Cream     Olive Oil     Onion     Garlic     Mustard Greens     Arugula     Watercress     Egg     Pepper     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Quick & Easy     Brunch     Breakfast     Easter     Spring     Mother's Day

Yield 2-4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup heavy cream
2 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt, divided
½ cup low-sodium vegetable broth or water
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 small onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
6 cups coarsely chopped peppery greens (such as mustard greens, wild arugula, or watercress)
4 large eggs
Flaky sea salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
4 thick slices bread (such as country-style, seedy, or pain de mie), toasted

Steps:

  • Using a fork, mix cream and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a small bowl or a 2-cup measuring glass until salt is dissolved, then stir in broth. Set aside.
  • Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet with a lid over medium. Add onion, garlic, and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt and stir in the salt well with a wooden spoon (this will help onion release it's moisture, making sure it cooks but doesn't brown). Cook, stirring often, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add 1 Tbsp. water to pan followed by half of greens, stirring well (you want to get some of the greens in direct contact with the bottom of the pan). Cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Mix in remaining greens and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and pour half of reserved cream mixture over greens mixture. Using wooden spoon, make 4 wells in greens mixture, spacing evenly apart. Crack an egg into each well and pour remaining cream mix over eggs. Cover pan with lid and increase heat to medium-low. Cook until eggs whites are almost entirely opaque but yolks are still runny, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let sit, still covered, until whites are completely cooked, about 2 minutes. (If the bottoms of the eggs seem to be cooking faster than the tops, just turn off the heat, keep the lid on, and cook the tops with the residual heat. If you want more firm egg yolks, just simmer or keep the lid on for a little longer.)
  • Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper and drizzle generously with oil over the top. Serve with toast.

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 11

For the dressing:
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
For the salad:
8 cups small whole leaves of romaine, little gems, or iceberg lettuce (or, for the bitter tolerant/enthusiast, escarole, radicchio or frisée), washed and spun dry
6 red radishes (or 2 peeled watermelon radishes), rinsed and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • For the dressing:
  • In a medium saucepan, bring a few inches of water to a boil. Using a slotted spoon, gently lower in the eggs and cook for 9 minutes (or 8 minutes if you like the yolk a little softer). While the eggs cook, set up a bowl of ice water in the sink; transfer the just boiled eggs to the ice bath.
  • Allow the eggs to cool in ice water, then peel them and separate the yolks from the whites. Reserve the whites for another use and push the yolks through a a sieve or a "spider" spatula into a medium mixing bowl. Add the mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; stir until smooth. Gradually whisk in the oil, creating a creamy, mayo-like emulsion with a bit more texture. Season and add additional lemon juice to taste.
  • For the salad:
  • Put the lettuces and radishes in a salad bowl and spoon over most of the dressing. Season with a sprinkle of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Gently but thoroughly toss the salad with your hands to coat the leaves well. Taste a leaf and add more dressing, lemon, salt, or pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
