Green Goddess Dressing

This green goddess salad dressing is my favorite way to add vibrant, herbaceous flavor to my meals! It’s smooth and creamy with a subtle sweetness and a refreshing fresh-herb taste. I like to make a batch to drizzle over salads, wraps, sandwiches, and for dipping.

Green Goddess Salad Dressing Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make this green goddess dressing recipe right away:

• Greek yogurt – I use Fage 5% Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and a rich, tangy flavor, but any percentage will work and provides a good source of calcium
• Lemon juice – freshly squeezed is best, but bottled varieties will also work
• Olive oil – we recommend using extra-virgin olive oil to enhance the rich flavor and create a smooth sauce. may sub avocado oil
• Dijon mustard
• Honey – may sub maple syrup
• Salt
• Garlic powder
• Fresh herbs – I like to use three different herbs and typically include parsley, basil leaves, and chives. However, fresh tarragon, cilantro, and dill work well, too

Make It Dairy Free

Substitute the Greek yogurt with a plain, dairy-free yogurt or dairy-free sour cream to keep this recipe completely dairy-free. To make it 100% vegan, substitute maple syrup for the honey.

Ways to Use

I love to serve this dressing on a crudité platter or as a dip with veggies, crackers, or carrot fries for a yummy snack that even my little ones will eat. You can even pair it with crispy chickpeas for a boost of flavor.

However, it’s also great as a sandwich spread or condiment with recipes like:

• Green Goddess Salad
• Mediterranean Bowl with Salmon
• Jennifer Aniston Salad
• Lentil Salad with Roasted Vegetables
