GREEN GODDESS SALAD DRESSING (DAIRY-FREE)



Green Goddess Salad Dressing (Dairy-Free) image

This is my adaptation of a recipe my great aunt has been making for years. I love the combination of herbs in this dressing. The original recipe called for tarragon wine vinegar, so if you happen to have that on hand feel free to use it in place of the white vinegar and omit the fresh tarragon. Not only does this dressing taste great on salads, but it's also a key ingredient in another of my aunt's delicious dishes, her Tuna Salad Bake (recipe #83226)!
