GREEN GODDESS DRESSING



Green Goddess Dressing image

Green Goddess is a California classic. It makes a great dip for crudités and a wonderful dressing for robust lettuces like romaine hearts, but it's too thick and intense for delicate spring mixes. Although I've made the anchovies optional, I recommend them because they add depth to the flavor. If salt is an issue for you, leave them out.

CHEF JOHN'S GREEN GODDESS DRESSING



Chef John's Green Goddess Dressing image

This creamy, herby, addictively delicious sauce is not only my favorite salad dressing, but is one of my favorite dips as well. You can of course tweak the acidity with more or less lemon, as well as play with the salt and pepper, but please do not change the trio of herbs. The way the parsley and chive play against the sweet tarragon makes this unlike any other herb dressing.
