Green Goddess Salad Dressing Recipe

If you couldn’t tell from the name of my website (Sugar, Spice and Glitter) – I love to indulge when it comes to food!

I never shy away from desserts, a good cream-based sauce or a healthy slathering of butter.

To keep things balanced, I usually stick to salads for lunch, but I still want to feel satisfied and indulged – even when making healthy choices. So, I rely on flavorful, homemade salad dressings and plenty of delicious toppings to make my lunchtime salads flavorful and indulgent.

This Green Goddess Salad Dressing is a classic, herby salad dressing with just the right amount of tangy acidity that pairs excellently with so many different salad options. Whether I’m sticking with a traditional green salad or topping it off with some steak, chicken or salmon, this homemade Green Goddess Salad Dressing pairs beautifully.

Even though I love this salad dressing, I like to change things up so that my daily salad doesn’t get too boring (or else I’ll hate eating it). Here are some ways to change up your Green Goddess Salad Dressing:

• swap some of the Greek Yogurt for dijon mustard
• change out the herbs
• swap out the garlic for fresh ginger
• add heat with red chile pepper flakes or cayenne pepper
• swap out the red wine vinegar for anchovy paste for a more umami flavor

What is Green Goddess Dressing? Green Goddess is a salad dressing typically containing mayonnaise, sour cream, chervil, chives, anchovy, tarragon, lemon juice, and pepper. Our version is a cleaned-up salad dressing with a greek yogurt base that is flavored with a variety of fresh herbs, lemon juice, rice wine vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper.

Do I have to use fresh herbs in green goddess dressing? Yes, the majority of the herbs that you use to make this salad dressing need to be fresh to give this salad dressing it’s vibrant, earthy flavor. Dried herbs can be used to add additional flavor, but you want to aim for at least 1 cup of fresh herbs.

How long does Green Goddess dressing last? You can keep this salad dressing in a sealed container in the fridge for up to one week without any flavor or texture loss. It is still edible past that point, but the texture may be less enjoyable.
