GREEN GODDESS DRESSING



Green Goddess Dressing image

Green goddess has been around for about a hundred years, but it's arguably more popular now than it has ever been: Restaurants are drizzling the dressing on anything and everything, and Trader Joe's fans love it so much, the grocery chain now sells a seasoning mix, dip and even a green goddess - flavored gouda. TikTokers have had their way with green goddess too: The founder of Baked by Melissa, Melissa Ben-Ishay, posted a green goddess chopped salad that has racked up 21 million views and counting. These days, the name green goddess can apply to any variety of herby salad dressing, but the original recipe - invented at San Francisco's Palace Hotel in 1923 - included chives, anchovies, scallions and parsley. Here's our take on the dressing.

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.

An excellent vegetarian style dressing for poultry. I have been making this recipe for over 35 years.

Provided by William Uncle Bill

Categories     Vegetable

Time 2h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

8 ounces homemade style bread
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
2 cups chopped small onion
1 medium sweet red pepper, seeded and diced
1 medium green pepper, seeded and diced
2 large celery ribs, chopped small include leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chicken soup base
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons whole milk, homogenized
1 1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons dried parsley or 4 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons dried dill weed
1 teaspoon granulated garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 cups crushed soda cracker saltines

Steps:

  • Purchase an 8 ounce sliced loaf of day old bread, such as homemade, sour dough or Italian bread.
  • Cut into 1/2" cubes and place on cookie sheets to dry for at least 1 day or dry in a 250 F oven for about 30 minutes.
  • I prefer to buy bread rather than purchasing bread cubes or bread crumbs.
  • In a large frying pan, add butter or margarine, onions, green and red peppers, celery and saute' for about 10 minutes; DO NOT BROWN.
  • Add chicken soup base and stir well.
  • Saute' for 5 minutes longer on medium-high heat.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add beaten eggs and milk and mix well.
  • Add dried bread cubes and mix well to coat.
  • Add mushrooms and mix again.
  • In a small bowl, mix together poultry seasoning, ginger, salt, parsley, dill weed, granulated garlic powder, black pepper and mix well to combine.
  • Sprinkle mixture over dressing and mix well.
  • Add crushed soda crackers and mix well.
  • Dressing should be only slightly moist when squeezed and should just hold together.
  • If dressing is still too moist, add more crushed cracker crumbs until the desired texture is achieved.
  • Adjust spices to taste.
  • You may wish to add some dried sage if desired.
  • Line the cavity with cheese cloth leaving enough cloth so that it protrudes outside the cavity. Stuff dressing loosely, DO NOT PRESS TIGHTLY, as it will not cook properly.
  • You can also wrap the dressing in double aluminum foil and bake in the oven along with your turkey or separately at 400 F for about 1 1/2 hours.
  • When the turkey is cooked, pull out the cheese cloth with the dressing. Leaves the cavity clean and you do not need to dig the dressing out.
  • NOTE: I prefer to cook the dressing in double aluminum foil in the oven.

MONGOLIAN FIRE POT



Mongolian Fire Pot image

Fun, fun, fun!!!! My husband and I did this fire pot for our last dinner party. Everyone loved it and the dinner went on for a long time with lots of laughs and conversation. We also served an assortment of wines. You can serve any meat, seafood or vegetables you wish. Fried rice and Kim Chee are great accompaniments. I would plan 4 people to a pot. We used two pots for our party. This is so much nicer than the messy oil fondues. Cooking time depends on how long you want your party to go on!! LOL

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.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality mayonnaise, like homemade or a brand that uses cage-free eggs and organic ingredients.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • To make the dressing ahead of time, simply whisk together all of the ingredients except the chives and tarragon. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, stir in the chives and tarragon.
  • This dressing is also great as a marinade for chicken, fish, or shrimp. Simply place the protein in a resealable bag with the dressing and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • For a vegan version of this dressing, use a plant-based mayonnaise and yogurt. You can also use lemon juice instead of buttermilk.
