What is Green Goddess Dressing?
Â
Green Goddess Dressing is a creamy, low in fat dressing- loaded with green veggies + fresh herbs! Each bite is so flavorful, it’s addicting!Â
Â
I love using a cream base of plain non fat greek yogurt. For the herbs, I like to use green onions, basil and jalapeno for a little kick. Feel Free to switch out the herbs and spices for whatever you like- cilantro, parsley, red onion or shallots.
Can Green Goddess Dressing be made vegan?
Â
Yes!
Â
You can swap out the greek yogurt for coconut or cashew yogurt or even a vegan sour cream!
Ingredients:
Â
loaded with all things green- this dressing is so refreshing and flavorful. You can use whatever herbs + spices you have at home to make this dressing your own!
Â
greek yogurt– sub for coconut or cashew yogurt to make this vegan. I’ve even made this with sour cream before and it was delicious!
basil– swap out for cilantro to make this a creamy cilantro dressing
jalapeno-Â I use everything but the stem, but if you don’t like spicy stuff, just take out the seeds or use half of the jalapeno. Jalapenos are definitely more spicy in the summer months, so be aware of that when adding to the dressing.
green onions– substitute for shallots or red onions
lemon juice
olive oil
apple cider vinegarÂ
salt
