Green Goddess

Have you ever tried making Green Goddess dressing? If your answer is no then today is your lucky day! Green goddess is a fresh, quick and delicious dressing that can be used on salads as well as a dipping sauce for anything from fresh veggies to shrimp cocktail.

I used basil, chives and parsley but feel free to substitute in other fresh green herbs of your choice.

(You can also use low fat mayo and light sour cream to lighten this up.)

The recipe will make more then you'll need for one time use. It can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week. 

recipe below.

What you'll need:

1 cup mayonnaise

1 cup chopped fresh basil

1 cup chopped fresh scallions

1/2 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley

Juice of 2 lemons

2 garlic cloves, chopped

2 teaspoons anchovy paste

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1 cup sour cream

Lettuce of your choice (I used an iceberg wedge)

Grape Tomatoes

Pancetta (optional)

Directions:

Place all ingredients except the sour cream in a blender.

Blend until smooth. Add in the sour cream and blend again.

Finely chop and cook pancetta on stovetop until well done and crispy. Place on paper towel to drain off excess oil.

Wash lettuce and cut the iceberg into 4 wedges. Slice tomatoes and scatter on plate. Pour dressing over each wedge and scatter pancetta bits.

Enjoy!
