Ingredients for Green Goddess Dressing
Greek Yogurt – or plain regular yogurt (which will result in a thinner consistency).AvocadoLemon zest and juiceExtra-virgin olive oilKaleCapers + caper juiceChives – green onions can be used in a pinch.Soft leaf herbs – such as basil, dill, tarragon, parsley, cilantro, mint, etc. Stay away from rosemary, thyme, and oregano – their flavor is too strong.Garlic – just a really small clove so the flavor doesn’t overpower.
How to make Green Goddess Dressing
To prep, I just take the leaves off the herb stems and the kale off of its stem, place everything in a colander, and give it a good rinse. No need to pre-chop anything here – the food processor will do the work for you! But even if you don’t have an herb garden, this recipe is flexible, so you can use any store bought herbs you want. This Green Goddess Dressing is so healthy for you, with a base of Greek yogurt, adding protein and probiotics, olive oil and avocado, for some healthy fats, and even some kale for a nutritious boost. But you won’t even taste the avocado and kale – they blend right in to the herby, creamy mix! You can use Green Goddess dressing/dip as – you guessed it – a dip for crackers or crudités or a salad dressing, but also for so much more. Spread on sandwiches, top eggs with it, drizzle on a taco, toss with pasta salad… you’ll love this versatile, healthy Green Goddess recipe! Once your herbs and kale are prepped, throw everything in a food processor and blend together! You can add a little water (or some more lemon juice, olive oil, and/or caper juice, for more flavor) to thin it out to a pourable dressing consistency.
How to serve Green Goddess Dressing
Use it as a dip, as pictured, with crudités (cut up veggies), pita bread, crackers, etc.Use it as a green salad dressing – make the consistency thinner with some added water.Drizzle some of it on your favorite tacos, like smoky chicken tacos or chipotle salmon tacos. This would be great as is, or you can sub out the lemon for lime and make cilantro one of the main herbs!Drizzle roasted veggies with it or use it as a dip for them. Or, use as a dip for oven french fries, carrot fries, or sweet potato fries!Spread on a sandwich or a burger.Toss with a pasta salad, like Green Goddess Pasta Salad or in place of the pesto in pesto pasta salad.
