WHITE BEAN AND YOGURT GREEN GODDESS



White Bean and Yogurt Green Goddess image

I've always had a weakness for green goddess dressing. It has that creamy appeal that ranch dressing also has, with the heady flavor and fragrance of fresh tarragon, which is the key to its flavor. The base is modeled on the bean and yogurt salad dressing base that the Sodexo chef Lisa Feldman has introduced to school lunch programs. Serve it as a dip with spring vegetables like artichokes and asparagus or with crispy salads.

GREEN GODDESS DRESSING



Green Goddess Dressing image

Unlike more complicated versions of green goddess, this one, adapted from the cookbook author Jessica Battilana, comes together quickly in a food processor. Mayonnaise and full-fat Greek yogurt give the dressing richness and tang, while parsley, basil and tarragon lend the springtime perfume of fine herbs. Two anchovy fillets offer salt and a rumor of umami. The recipe is so mouth-smackingly perfect that it doesn't require any adjusting. Serve with this greenest-green salad. Use leftover dressing as a dip, alongside carrots, cucumbers and radishes, or as an accompaniment to grilled fish or chicken.
