Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup sour cream
2/3 cup mayonnaise
2 anchovy fillets, preferably salt packed, rinsed
1 1/2 cups fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
4 scallions, trimmed and chopped, dark-green tops reserved
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh tarragon leaves
Assorted crudites, such as cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, and blanched snap peas, snow peas, wax beans, and baby squash (see note), for serving

Steps:

  • In a food processor, puree sour cream, mayonnaise, anchovies, parsley, basil, and chopped scallions until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl. Refrigerate, covered, up to 1 day.
  • Finely chop reserved dark-green scallion tops and stir into dip, along with tarragon. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with crudites.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, seasonal vegetables. If you can, grow your own or buy them from a local farmer's market.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet when roasting the vegetables. Give them plenty of space so that they can roast evenly and get crispy.
  • Roast the vegetables until they are tender and slightly caramelized. This will bring out their natural sweetness.
  • Make the green goddess dressing ahead of time so that the flavors can meld. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Serve the crudités with the green goddess dressing for a healthy and refreshing snack or appetizer.
