Frequently Asked Questions
What is Green Goddess dressing?
Green Goddess is a creamy, herb-forward dressing with bright lemon, shallots and tarragon. It works as a salad dressing or a dip for raw and roasted vegetables.
How do I make this specific recipe?
Combine 1/2 cup plain yogurt with 1 tablespoon of Green Goddess dressing mix. Whisk in 1 tablespoon wine vinegar and 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. Add a little water if you want a thinner pourable consistency.
Can I use mayonnaise or sour cream instead of yogurt?
Yes. Mayonnaise makes the dressing richer and thicker. Sour cream adds tang and creaminess. Use the same quantities and adjust with water or extra oil to reach the texture you prefer.
How can I make this dressing dairy free or vegan?
Replace the plain yogurt with an unsweetened plant yogurt such as soy or coconut yogurt, or use vegan mayonnaise. Check the dressing mix for any dairy ingredients and swap for a dairy-free herb blend if needed.
How do I change the thickness?
For a thinner dressing add water one teaspoon at a time until you reach the desired pour. For a thicker dip add more yogurt or a spoonful of mayonnaise or softened cream cheese.
How long will the dressing keep and how should I store it?
Keep it refrigerated in a sealed container for about 5 to 7 days. Discard if it develops an off smell, visible mold, or an odd texture. Freezing is not recommended because the texture may change.
Can I make Green Goddess from scratch without a mix?
Yes. Combine plain yogurt with lemon juice, minced shallot, chopped tarragon or other fresh herbs, a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Optional additions are garlic, Dijon mustard, or anchovy paste for more depth. Taste and adjust to your preference.
