Basil Green Goddess Dressing
Description
Basil Green Goddess Dressing combines mayonnaise, fresh basil, and scallions into a creamy, herbaceous sauce brightened by freshly squeezed lemon juice and seasoned with garlic and black pepper. Anchovy paste provides a subtle umami richness that complements the tangy sour cream included at the end of blending. The dressing is smooth and thick, suitable for tossing with greens or serving alongside vegetables.
The preparation involves blending all ingredients except sour cream until smooth, then incorporating sour cream for a balanced creamy consistency. Refrigeration before serving allows the flavors to meld fully.
This dressing pairs well with leafy salads, grilled vegetables, or as a flavorful dip. Adjust ingredients such as swapping mayonnaise for Greek yogurt to make a lighter version if desired while maintaining the fresh herb profile.
