Green Goddess Dressing Recipe
Green Goddess Dressing Doubles as a Dreamy Dip
Smooth, creamy, and vibrantly green in both color and flavor, green goddess dip is a classic recipe you ought to master. Traditionally this lush concoction is made with a generous dose of herbs, a few anchovies for a subtle savory note, and a decadent base of mayonnaise and sour cream. This recipe owes its bolder green hue and fresher flavor to two simple swaps; instead of a mayo and sour cream base, an avocado and a dollop of Greek yogurt are blended in.
Ingeniously, it doubles as both a dressing and a dip; do as I have here and serve it with crudité in its thicker dip form, or thin it out with a few generous glugs of olive oil to transform it into a salad dressing that practically begs to be tossed with romaine or little gem lettuces.
