This 5-minute Green Goddess Dressing is creamy, tangy, and bursting with flavour. It's super quick and easy to make and deliciously packed with fresh herbs, garlic, and lemon juice, with a Greek yogurt base. Loaded with natural and nutritious ingredients, not only does it taste amazing but it's also nourishing and healthy!

This dressing is also incredibly versatile - I throw it onto my power bowls, salads, sandwiches and wraps, or use it as a dip for veggies or roasted potatoes, and as a sauce for chicken or seafood. It's one of my go-to flavour enhancers that I use to level up all sorts of different dishes!

Ingredients

Please scroll down to the recipe card for exact measurements.

Herbs/greens - I like using basil, parsley, and green onions, but you can use whatever you like! Other ingredients that work well in this recipe: chives, cilantro, tarragon, or spinach for a lighter taste.
Greek yogurt - I prefer using Greek yogurt to give us our creamy base, as a healthier alternative to sour cream or mayonnaise, which other recipes often use. You can also use Tahini for a vegan alternative!
Lemon juice - Brings some delicious zesty brightness and tang to the dressing!
Olive oil - I use extra virgin olive oil to add richness and balance. Also a great source of healthy fats! You can also use avocado oil instead.
Rice vinegar - Enhances the acidity with a hint of sweetness. You can also use red/white wine vinegar, or apple cider vinegar.
Shallot - Adds flavour and depth.
Garlic - Brings a pungent and savoury note to the dressing.
Salt & black pepper - Season to your liking!

STEP 4: Pour into an air-tight container (such as a mason jar) to store away or enjoy.

Storage

Store this in an air-tight container (such as a mason jar) in the refrigerator - it will stay fresh for up to 1 week. You can also store this in the freezer for up to 2 months, and then thaw when you're ready to enjoy it. Again, ensure you are using a sealable container to maximize freshness.

Equipment

All you'll need for this recipe is a blender or food processor. I made this recipe with my NutriBullet and it crushed through the whole shallots and garlic cloves with ease - however if you have an older blender with less power, you may want to chop up these ingredients first to help them blend easier.

Pairing Suggestions

This Green Goddess dressing is a perfect pairing partner with not only salads and veggies, but also as a sauce for buddha/power bowls, as a dip for roasted potatoes, or a sauce for sandwiches. It's incredibly versatile!

Toasty's Tips

When adding ingredients to the blender or food processor, make sure to put the wet ingredients in closest to the blender blade. This will help with the blending process to ensure a smooth consistency. For my Nutribullet, the blade attaches at the top - so I add in the wet ingredients last.
For a bit of pop, try adding anchovies (2 canned anchovy fillets) and blending it with the rest of the ingredients. This will give the dressing a uniquely savoury and delicious umami flavour!
