Vegan Green Goddess Dressing
Description
This Vegan Green Goddess Dressing features fresh avocado as the creamy base, combined with a garlic clove, fresh basil, parsley, and the dark green part of green onions for herbal depth. The blender processes these ingredients with olive oil and water to smooth consistency. Lemon juice and apple cider vinegar are added gradually, with tasting to adjust the level of tanginess and acidity. Kosher salt seasons the dressing to taste.
The resulting dressing is smooth and thick with a bright, tangy flavor from the vinegar and lemon, balanced by the rich avocado and the savory garlic and herbs. It provides a dairy-free alternative to traditional Green Goddess dressings, focusing on fresh plant-based ingredients without added cream or mayonnaise.
This dressing works well tossed with leafy salads or as a flavorful dip for vegetables. Its herbal freshness and creamy texture complement many dishes. Storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator keeps it fresh up to five days, allowing flavors to meld further.
