We love making homemade salad dressings for Curt and Mandie's lettuces. GREEN GODDESS DRESSING takes advantage of flavorful fresh herbs and comes together so quickly.
Green Goddess Dressing
1 teaspoon anchovy paste 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup full-fat Greek yogurt 1/4 cup parsley leaves 3 tablespoons basil leaves 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves 2 tablespoons minced chives Salt Freshly ground black pepper
In a large measuring cup, combine the anchovy paste, mayonnaise, yogurt, parsley, basil and lemon juice. With a wand blender, process until smooth and uniformly green. (Alternatively, process in a food processor until smooth.) Stir in tarragon and chives. Adjust seasoning as needed with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
***Worcestershire Sauce can be subbed for the umami of anchovy paste. ***Adjust herbs to taste. More basil adds pepperiness and sweetness. More tarragon adds a bit of licorice flavor. Parsley bumps up the freshness. Chives lend a faint onion flavor. ***Tender herb stems also have a lot of flavor and can be blended into the mix. Woody ones will not blend smoothly, though. ***If your dressing seems a bit sharp for your taste, add a little honey to the blend.
