Easy Green Goddess Dressing Recipe
Description
The Easy Green Goddess Dressing combines a variety of fresh herbs including spinach, chives, parsley, basil, and green onions with plain yogurt and olive oil to form a creamy, herbaceous base. Avocado adds silkiness to the dressing, while lime juice and red wine vinegar provide a balance of acidity. Garlic lends a mild pungency, and salt seasons the mixture effectively. The ingredients are blended until well incorporated, with water added sparingly to adjust consistency as needed. Ground black pepper is added as a final touch for mild heat.
The dressing works well tossed with fresh greens, used as a dip for vegetables, or even drizzled over grilled items. Its fresh herbal flavors and creamy texture make it flexible for various dishes without overwhelming the taste.
Plain Greek yogurt may be substituted for plain yogurt, resulting in a thicker dressing, which might benefit from additional water to reach desired pourability. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Ingredients
- ½ cup PLAIN yogurt
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ avocado
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

- 3 green onions trimmed (greens and white part)

Instructions
- Place yogurt, olive oil, avocado, lime juice, spinach, chives, parsley, green onions, garlic, basil and salt in a food processor or blender.
