Notes
- Pro tip: This dressing is easily customized with a combination of your favorite herbs. See my fresh herbs produce guide to find out more about herb flavor profiles and how to store them.
- The anchovy adds savory depth of flavor similar to Caesar dressing and does not taste fishy in the slightest. Sub with 2-3 teaspoons anchovy paste or 1-2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, coconut aminos or tamari as desired.
- The olive oil loosens up the dressing and makes it smooth and silky. Add up to 1-2 tablespoons according to your preference.
- If your goddess dressing is too thick, you may thin it out with up to 1-2 tablespoons of milk, buttermilk or even water.
- Recipe yields about 1 cup of green goddess dressing. Store the dressing in the refrigerator for about 1 week.
