This classic Green Goddess Dressing is a vibrant and creamy herb-infused dressing that combines fresh parsley, tarragon, and tangy lemon juice with anchovies, Greek yogurt, and mayonnaise. Perfect for salads, vegetables, or as a flavorful dip, this dressing comes together quickly using a food processor for a smooth and luscious texture.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

Herbs and Flavorings

  • 1 cup parsley
  • 2 tablespoons tarragon
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 green onion
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • 2 fillets anchovies (or 2 teaspoons capers)

Dressing Base

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Blend herbs: Add the parsley, tarragon, lemon juice, green onion, garlic, and anchovies to your food processor and blend until smooth to form a vibrant herb base.
  2. Add mayo and yogurt: Incorporate the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, and salt into the herb mixture and blend briefly until the dressing is creamy and well combined.
  3. Serve and rest: Transfer the dressing to a jar and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.

Notes

  • Substitute anchovies with capers for a vegetarian option.
  • Letting the dressing rest in the fridge enhances the flavor profile.
  • Store dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Adjust salt according to taste since anchovies are naturally salty.
