Green Goddess Dressing is an old fashioned dressing that is traditionally made from mostly all high fat ingredients like, Mayonnaise, Creme Fraiche and Sour Cream blended with green herbs. I enjoy high fat foods like everyone else does but I prefer my salads to be somewhat healthy so I came up with this recipe. Traditional Green Goddess dressing does NOT contain avocado. I had some extra avocado so I thought I could make a rich tasting Green Goddess type of dressing and I did. You can use this dressing for salads, chicken salad, dip or drizzle it on vegetables, chicken or fish.
Ingredients for about 4 servings
8 oz ripe avocado
3 Tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup scallions sliced (packed tight)
1/4 cup parsley (packed tight)
8 anchovy filets (I used Delallo Brand…I note some other reasonably priced brands sold in Phoenix will not work out as well)
3 Tablespoons white vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 Tablespoon dried tarragon…..(fresh would be better but I very rarely use tarragon..so I usually use dried)
1/4 teaspoon or to taste fresh ground black pepper…( I found after I made the dressing I needed slightly more than 1/4 teaspoon)
Fresh ground sea salt to taste….(not much)
Directions
Just blend all the ingredients.
This dressing seems very rich and is delicious.
