Green Goddess Dressing
Description
Green Goddess Dressing is a creamy blend of fresh parsley, basil, and chives with mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, and optional garlic. The herbs give this dressing a bright, green flavor that contrasts well with the creamy, tangy base made from mayonnaise and sour cream. The lemon juice adds acidity, helping to balance the richness and bring freshness. The dressing's smooth texture is achieved by puréeing all ingredients until fully combined, making it easy to drizzle or dip.
This dressing works well on leafy green salads, as a spread for sandwiches, or a dip for raw vegetables. It can add a herby, creamy flavor wherever needed. The garlic is optional, allowing you to adjust the pungency to your liking.
It's best stored in the refrigerator and used within a few days to enjoy the fresh herb flavors. The recipe yields just over a cup, making it practical to prepare small batches to maintain freshness.
