Green Goddess Dressing

Green Goddess Dressing made with mayonnaise, sour cream, watercress, and lots of fresh herbs. It's delicious on salad, fish, or as a dip!

It's easy to pull out regular old Ranch dip when you're having a party and want to serve chopped vegetables, but it you want to serve something a little prettier and with a whole lot more flavor, give this Green Goddess Dressing a try.

This dressing is super easy to make—you just toss everything in the food processor and blend! That's it. No chopping required! That's my favorite kind of recipe!

I could eat this dressing by the spoonful—it's that good! It tastes like spring in a bowl.

Fresh herbs and watercress lend a peppery tang to the creamy base of mayonnaise and sour cream that makes this green goddess dressing an excellent choice for a hearty salad or as a dipping sauce.

Green Goddess Dressing

While many Green Goddess dressing recipes call for buttermilk, which I don't care for in dressings, this one from Canal House uses mayonnaise and sour cream as the base.

With fresh parsley, chives, and tarragon, and a little flavor from anchovy paste, you have a lovely dressing that can work for you in a variety of ways.
