Green Goddess Dressing

The clean, fresh flavors of Green Goddess dressing make for one of the more perfect condiments. It’s smooth and bright and goes with so many different types of salads!

The clean, fresh flavors of Green Goddess dressing make for one of the more perfect condiments. It’s smooth and bright and pairs well with all the summer produce in abundance right now. I also love drizzling it over grilled chicken or shrimp. If you make it a bit more thick by adding a bit of extra sour cream, you can use it as a dip for vegetables.

Every once in a while, I like to touch on the importance of eating fat with vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables contain fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) that are better utilized by the body when accompanied by fat. A recent study of over 1,700 Swedish men indicates that consumption of fruits and vegetables was associated with a decreased risk of heart disease, but only when combined with full-fat dairy consumption.

The clean, fresh flavors of Green Goddess dressing make for one of the more perfect condiments. It’s smooth and bright and goes with so many different types of salads!

So if you make a salad it’s a good idea to add some full-fat dairy, whether it’s sour cream, yogurt or cheese. If you steam vegetables, drizzle some butter or ghee overtop before serving. The food will taste better and your body will thank you for it!

Green Goddess Dressing

The anchovies in this recipe gives the dressing a nice kick. Don’t worry - the dressing won’t taste fishy. I served the dressing over bib lettuce and beefsteak tomatoes in the photo above.

  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup organic sour cream (I prefer Straus or you can make your own using a culture )

  1. Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Season to taste with sea salt. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

I’ve included the cooking times for each recipe. The cooking time will include cooking, prep and baking times. For instance, a soup will cook for 1 1/2 hours, and that will be included in the cooking time, even though this isn’t time you are working on dinner.

    This looks so good, but we could never use it up in one week. I think I'll try adding whey to it like I do my mayo.

      Do you make homemade mayo? Do you have a recipe to share? Do you know how many carbs & fat are in the whey? Thank you.

    I have no problem using the anchovies but what do you do with the rest of them in the package? My dog ends up with healthy treats usually but I think there may be a different answer.

      I freeze them and then use them for homemade Caesar dressing or to make another batch of Green Goddess.

    I grew up on Green Goddess and absolutely love the distinct flavor - perfect for summer salads. I love a little drizzle of it over sliced cucumbers too!

    Could this dressing be pulled off without the anchovies? I cannot find organic ones in my area.

      It can, it just won't have quite the "zip" to it. :)

    We made this, it was really good! It had a bit more zip than my kids cared for (they still ate it). Not sure if it was the garlic or anchovy paste. I'm making it again, we'll just tone down the raw garlic this time. Reminded us of caesar dressing.

      Glad you all enjoyed it! Next time try soaking the chopped garlic in the lemon juice for 20 minutes before blending the rest of the ingredients. This will take the spiciness out of the garlic. :)

    I am allergic to fish and cannot have the anchovies. I see it in lots of dressing recipes. Is there a substitute for it for those of us with allergies?

    Would miso be an ok sub for the anchovies? I've actually never used it, but have read it could be a good sub for anchovies in dressings. I usually don't want soy in my diet, but because it's fermented, miso is better....I think..??
