Notes
- Fresh parsley, chives, and tarragon: In a pinch, you can make this homemade salad dressing with dried herbs; just let the dressing sit a little longer before using it so the herbs can hydrate. And if you’re using tarragon, use a little extra because dried tarragon isn’t as powerful as fresh.
- Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt: You'll need 6 ounces or 3/4 cup of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt; any fat level (although I prefer full-fat!). Alongside an equal amount of mayo, either lends the just-right amount of tang and creaminess to this homemade salad dressing.
- Worcestershire sauce: This mimics the flavor of anchovies that you're familiar with in other salad dressings, such as Caesar, but in a pantry staple format. Of course if you prefer to blend in an anchovy or two, do you.
- Yield: This Green Goddess Dressing recipe creates about 2 cups or 32 tablespoons, enough for 16 servings of 2 tablespoons each.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
