Green Goddess Recipe: A Perfect Dressing For Summer Salads
Posted on September 22 2022
Whether you have a bunch of leftover herbs you need to put to quick use or wish to upgrade your salad with a brand new dressing, this green goddess recipe was made for you. While salads are often a healthier alternative to many other meals, the nutritional benefit can be negated if you choose a dressing that’s chock full of fats and bad cholesterol.
This green goddess recipe allows you to add your choice of mayonnaise, sour cream or Greek yogurt, although we recommend Greek yogurt for maximum health benefits. Although there are some ingredients we recommend you to use, you can choose to customize it further by adding in your own herbal infused oil or garnishes, such as mint.

List of Ingredients
Below is the list of ingredients you will need to prepare:
- Mayonnaise, sour cream, cashew cream or Greek yogurt
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Lemon or lime juice and zest
- Your choice of herbs such as cilantro, chives and parsley
- Garnishes to taste, including salt, pepper and garlic
- Anchovies (capers can be used as a vegetarian alternative)
- Herbal infused oil, prepared in advance, with the help of a botanical infuser
You may wish to blend all the ingredients together first before adding in your garnishes according to taste.
Making the Dressing
Once you have all the ingredients ready, preparing the dressing is easy. Simply throw everything into a food processor, blender, or botanical infuser and you are all good to go! Once you have made sure that the mixture is smooth, stop blending and pour it into a bowl or storage container, depending on whether you plan to consume immediately or store for later. This dressing is also great for serving at parties and gatherings.
Serving Suggestions
This green goddess recipe is not only great as a dressing for pouring over salads, it can also be served in a few different ways. This includes:
- As a dip for chips, French fries and vegetables
- As a drizzle over roasted vegetables
- As a filling for a baked or jacket potato — a healthier alternative to sour cream or cheese, especially if you have used Greek yogurt in your recipe!
- As a topping for any grain bowl, such as quinoa or brown rice
