Nothing says fresh summer flavors more than Green Goddess dressing!

Grabbing handfuls of all the herbs and creating a magically delicious while nutrient dense topping for things from salads, to chips and sweet potato fries couldn’t be easier. It is literally dump, blend, and pour (or dip).

I like mine to present ‘parsley forward’.  But a combo of any of these herbs , and in descending amounts will give you serious bang for your herbs: parsley, dill, cilantro, basil, mint, and up to a ¼ of that can be chives (or garlic chives). Tender stems are ok as they will break down in the blender/food processor. Some recipes call for anchovies or capers, and I’ve made it with them, but don’t really miss it without.

I love the flexibility of this dressing as well, making it your own is half the fun!

Green Goddess Dressing Recipe

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full fat if possible)
  • 1+ cup of lightly packed herbs (parsley, dill, cilantro, basil, mint, chives)
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Up to 1/2 lemon juice
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • Fresh ground pepper to taste
  • *Optional 1-2 Tbsp of capers + 1-2 Tbsp olive oil (to thin out)

Blend well, and scrape every last ounce of deliciousness into your mouth – I mean container.

This keeps well in the refrigerator for at least a week. Shake if it separates.

*I love the fresh bright flavors, but some like it spicy, and I’ve added jalapeño to a batch or two as well.

That’s really it. Enjoy, and use those herbs!
