I’m a California girl born and raised (even though I live in Florida now) and so is Green Goddess dressing. I love the mix of creamy and tang, plus the fresh herbs make it a fantastic spring dressing. Through research, I found what goes into a Green Goddess dressing. It seems like the recipes change, except for the one constant of fresh herbs. I am sharing with you what I use in mine. But, if you happen to have other herbs on hand, then just throw those in and use them up. This dressing can be used on your salad and as a great dip with veggies.

I used the three basic herbs that are found in most Green Goddess dressings; parsley, chives, and tarragon. Luckily I was able to find everything fresh in the organic section of the grocery store.

First I made the dressing in my small Ninja food processor. It was really easy to blend everything and then use a canning jar to store it in the fridge. But, if you don’t have a food processor, you can always use a blender.
