We decided to make a salad with the 60's classic Green Goddess Dressing. As I remember it, my mother never made Green Goddess Dressing from scratch, but rather it came in a bottle marked: Kraft. Ain't the same!
Green Goddess Dressing
New York Times
Unlike more complicated versions of green goddess, this one, adapted from the cookbook author Jessica Battilana, comes together quickly in a food processor. Mayonnaise and full-fat Greek yogurt give the dressing richness and tang, while parsley, basil and tarragon lend the springtime perfume of fine herbs. Two anchovy fillets offer salt and a rumor of umami. The recipe is so mouth-smackingly perfect that it doesn’t require any adjusting. Serve with this greenest-green salad. Use leftover dressing as a dip, alongside carrots, cucumbers and radishes, or as an accompaniment to grilled fish or chicken.
Ingredients
2 oil-packed anchovy fillets
½ cup mayonnaise, preferably Hellmann’s/Best Foods
⅓ cup full-fat Greek yogurt
½ cup parsley leaves
⅓ cup basil leaves
1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves
3 tablespoons minced chives
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
In a food processor, combine the anchovies, mayonnaise, yogurt, parsley, basil and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Process until smooth and uniformly green. Transfer to a lidded jar, and stir in the tarragon and chives. Adjust seasoning as needed with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
