    How to Make Green Goddess Dressing

    1. Make the Dressing

    Combine the avocado (scooped from its skin and pit removed), mayonnaise, lime juice, black pepper, chives, mint leaves, garlic, and cilantro in the base of a blender. Blending these ingredients first creates a smooth, creamy base for your dressing. It's important to use ripe avocado for its buttery texture and rich flavor. Transfer the Green Goddess Dressing to a container with a tight-fitting lid. The dressing can be enjoyed immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Use Fresh Herbs

    The freshest parsley, tarragon, chives, and basil yield a complex flavor profile. Vibrant, aromatic herbs are essential.

    Blender or Food Processor

    Essential for a smooth, emulsified dressing, finely chopping the herbs and incorporating all ingredients.

    High-Quality Mayonnaise and Sour Cream

    The base of your dressing should be the best quality for optimal texture and taste.

    Balance Your Acid

    A mix of lemon juice and a white wine vinegar offers nuanced acidity. Adjust to taste, ensuring it cuts through the richness.

    Let It Rest

    Allow flavors to meld and intensify by resting the dressing in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
