The Story Behind the Recipe

I shared recently that I’ve been making a lot of buddha bowls lately, and this Green Goddess Dressing recipe has been getting a workout because it’s one of my favorite sauces for bowls!

I’ve tried a few variations of Greek Goddess dressing, but this version with Greek yogurt, lemon juice, capers, and fresh herbs hits the spot perfectly. SO delicious!

Ingredients for Green Goddess Dressing

Green Goddess Dressing Recipe Ingredients

  • Greek yogurt – I like to use whole-milk Greek yogurt for the richest, creamiest Green Goddess Dressing.
  • Lemon juice – From one juicy lemon.
  • Scallion – Also known as green onions! You’ll need just one or two, diced.
  • Garlic – One small clove, peeled. Love the flavor fresh garlic adds!
  • Capers – For a salty, umami kick. Necessary.
  • Parsley – My favorite herb, I had to include it in my Green Goddess Sauce recipe.
  • Tarragon – A signature ingredient in most Green Goddess recipes.
  • Dill – I just love the flavor of fresh dill, so I use it liberally here.
  • Salt & pepper – To highlight all of those amazing flavors!

Adaptations/Variations

  • You can swap sour cream for the Greek yogurt if that’s all you have.
  • For a vegan Green Goddess Dressing, use a vegan yogurt or vegan sour cream.

How to Make It

Just add it all to a mini food processor or high-speed blender and puree! Taste and add more salt and pepper, if you like. That’s it!
