Make this green goddess dressing recipe using fresh herbs and anchovies blended in a creamy base to use with salads, dips, or spreads.

Flavor: This dressing has a mildly sweet garden flavor with a creamy texture. It’s bright and tangy, with a fresh, herby flavor.
Skill Level: This recipe is beginner-friendly. Just pulse the ingredients, transfer to a jar, and chill until ready to use.
Recommended Tools: Use a food processor or a blender for finely mincing herbs and pureeing the ingredients together.
Swaps: Use capers instead of anchovies for a vegetarian version.

Ingredient Tips for Green Goddess Dressing

Fresh Herbs: This recipe is all about the fresh herbs! Flat-leaf parsley gives bulk and freshness; feel free to experiment with what’s in the garden or what’s widely available.
Anchovies: Anchovies provide a ‘umami’ flavor base that’s both salty and savory. Capers can be used to achieve a similar flavor.
Onions & Garlic: Use powdered garlic if you plan to double up the recipe and store it longer than 3 days, as the risk of botulism can occur. Swap in chives if the flavor of green onions is too strong.
Base: Use white vinegar to keep the dressing bright green. Full-fat mayonnaise can be replaced with plain Greek yogurt for a lower-calorie dressing.
Variations: Avocado, pesto, peas, and spinach are other sweet green additions to green goddess dressing, especially if you’re short on herbs.

Be sure to taste after blending – fresh herbs can vary in strength, so you can adjust if needed.
To let the flavors fully meld, be sure to make the dressing at least an hour before using.
Store leftover dressing in a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid in the refrigerator for easy shake-and-serve use. Be sure to use within 3 days (or swap the fresh garlic for powdered garlic as mentioned above).

Ways to Use Green Goddess Dressing

Tangy green goddess dressing is delish served in a bowl with assorted fresh veggies and crostini.
Use it as a dip for crispy zucchini, sweet potato, or green bean fries.
Drizzle a little over veggie kabobs hot off the grill, or scoop a little into homemade pita bread and add leftover chicken, salmon, or shrimp for a quick sandwich.
