This creamy Green Goddess dressing is loaded with fresh herbs for a tasty salad dressing that is packed with flavor! This recipe also makes a great sandwich spread or vegetable dip!

A few weeks ago, I was getting a little bored with my standard salad dressings and I knew I needed to switch things up. After making an herb-infused drizzle for my vegetarian sheet pan meal, I realized that this tasty concoction was pretty close to a Green Goddess dressing. I found myself making it, again and again, to pour over my latest bowl of greens and so I decided this recipe deserved its own post!

What is Green Goddess Dressing?

It’s a creamy dressing that is typically mayonnaise-based and filled with a variety of fresh herbs. Many recipes use anchovies, but I obviously wanted to keep this recipe vegetarian so I left those out. I used a combination of cilantro, parsley, dill, and chives for lots of herbal flavor. I added a dash of lemon juice to brighten the flavors and a little garlic powder to add even more flavor.

How long does Green Goddess Dressing last?

It typically lasts 3-4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can make a smaller batch, but keep in mind that it can be hard to blend a very small amount if you have a large blender or food processor. But there are so many ways you can use this dressing, I have a feeling you won’t have trouble using the leftovers!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I make this dressing without mayonnaise? I’d recommend making my Vegan Green Goddess Dressing if you want a mayo-free version!
  • Can I make this recipe vegan? Yes! Simply use Veganaise in place of mayonnaise.
