A quick and easy creamy green goddess dressing that elevates any salad with fresh herbs, tangy lemon, and a silky texture. Perfect for busy weeknights and versatile enough to use as a dip or drizzle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup (60ml) mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, tightly packed, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • 1 anchovy fillet, finely minced (optional but recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) mild extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse parsley, chives, and tarragon well under cold water. Pat dry with a kitchen towel or spin in a salad spinner to remove excess moisture. Finely chop the herbs and mince the garlic clove.
  2. In a food processor or blender, add Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and white wine vinegar. Pulse briefly to mix.
  3. Add the chopped herbs, minced garlic, and anchovy fillet. Pulse a few times until the herbs are well incorporated but still have some texture. Avoid over-blending into a puree.
  4. With the processor running on low, slowly drizzle in olive oil to emulsify and smooth out the dressing.
  5. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Pulse once more to combine. Taste and adjust acidity with more lemon juice or vinegar if needed.
  6. If the dressing is too thick, stir in a teaspoon or two of water or more olive oil to loosen it for drizzling.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Stir before serving.

Notes

Use fresh herbs for best flavor and color. Anchovy adds umami depth but can be substituted with soy sauce, miso paste, or caper brine for a fish-free option. Pulse herbs to keep texture, don’t puree. Chill dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to marry flavors. Store in airtight container up to 5 days.
