Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, Greek yogurt, cilantro, parsley, spinach, lemon juice, olive oil, chives, garlic, Dijon mustard, green onion, salt, and pepper. Don't add the water yet.
- Process until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated. Remember tiny flecks of herbs are totally okay!
- To make the dressing thinner: add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until you get the consistency you want! For reference, I added 3 tablespoon to mine.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.
- Serve chilled and drizzle over your favorite salads, roasted vegetables, or use as a dipping sauce for crudités or roasted potatoes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 days. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use it as a dressing, condiment, or dipping sauce. This homemade no-mayo and no-oil green goddess dressing is the perfect dipped sauce for fresh vegetables, pita, roasted potatoes, crackers, or bread. You can also use it as a sauce in a sandwich or wrap, as a salad dressing, or as a marinade for chicken or vegetables. The options are endless!
- Let it Rest. For the best-tasting dressing, allow it to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or longer before serving. This resting time helps the flavors meld together and develop a more cohesive taste.
- Meal prep it and store extra for up to 6 days. Feel free to make extra or store leftovers for meal prep. This homemade healthy caesar dressing is the ideal make-ahead dressing.
- Watercress Substitute: Arugula (also known as rocket) is the best substitute for watercress since it has a similar peppery taste. You can also use baby spinach, radish sprouts, or mizuna.
- Make it Vegan: You can make this green goddess dressing vegan and dairy-free by substituting the Greek yogurt with ¼ cup of runny tahini and ¼ cup of hummus. You can also use plain dairy-free yogurt (substitute it 1:1 with Greek yogurt).
- Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 6 days. Make sure to stir it before using it.
- Serving Size: 1 Serving is 3 Tablespoons.
