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 dressing the best flavor. If you can't find fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use only 1/3 of the amount called for in the recipe.
  • Don't over blend. When you blend the dressing, do it in short pulses until the ingredients are combined. Over blending will make the dressing too thick.
  • Taste the dressing before serving. Adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper.
  • Serve the dressing immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use. The dressing will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Green goddess dressing is a versatile dressing that can be used on salads, vegetables, and even fish. It's a great way to add flavor and nutrition to your meals. With its creamy, tangy, and herbaceous flavor, green goddess dressing is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
