I want to be a Goddess.
Or even better, a glowing Goddess.
Meow.
However, I don’t always feel like a Goddess in my day to day life.
Being a baker & food blogger covered in syrup, flour, and who knows what else on a daily basis isn’t exactly Goddess material. Neither is my worn apron with oats stuck to it, my lunch lady hair net, or my flustered red face when baking Glo Bars in the summer heat. And if you think I actually bake in heels, I’m sorry, I really am.
It’s frump town over here most days.
Frump.
Town.
Though when I do get dressed up for a special event, it’s extra special. This weekend I’ll be dressed to the nine’s for my brother-in-law’s wedding, complete with sparkly jewelry, an evening clutch, heels, and a cocktail dress. And if I’m lucky, a cocktail in my hand.
Berry lipgloss…much to Eric’s chagrin.
Shimmery eye shadow, black eye liner, and mascara.
I guess I better find that cocktail dress…
Sometimes, though, feeling like a Goddess comes from within. [OK, I might sound like a certain women’s shaving commercial at this point, but go with it.] Sometimes a workout makes me feel like a Goddess. I rocked out a 60 minute spin class this morning and I left dripping in sweat and beet red in the face. Total Goddess.
And often, FOOD makes me feel like a Goddess! That’s the best. Eating a vegan diet makes me feel like a Goddess. No matter what things in my life are going on that make me feel the opposite of a Goddess, sometimes all I need is one rockin’ recipe to give me a kick to my step.
This is that recipe.
Have you heard of the famous Green Goddess Dressing which is thought to hail from the Palace Hotel in San Francisco? It’s a pretty big deal. I finally decided that I would make a vegan version, cuz you know, the original has 3 cups of MAYO in it.
I don’t know who equated mayonnaise and feeling like a Goddess, but it must have been a man.
Ladies, this one is for you.

Vegan Green Goddess Dressing
It’s light, yet smooth and creamy, and it has a great kick to it thanks to the lemon and apple cider. The fresh herbs give it a fresh and cleansing feel. Enjoy it over salads, vegetables, grains, pasta, as a dip for crackers, etc. Have fun changing up the fresh herbs in this recipe too. Next time I’m going to try fresh dill. Mmm. Goddess.
Inspired by Green Cuisine Cookbook found here.
Yield: 1.25 cups
Ingredients:
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 cup packed avocado flesh (2 small) (I heard Tahini might work in place of avocado, so Im trying this next!)
- 7-8 tbsp water
- 5 tbsp apple cider vinegar*
- 3-4 tbsp fresh lemon juice, to taste
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 cup packed fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup packed green onion (dark green part only, not white)
- 1 tsp kosher salt, or to taste
- Pinch of cayenne (optional)
- Sweetener, to taste (I used 1/2 tsp agave)
1. Add garlic clove to food processor and process until finely chopped.
2. Add in the water, oil, avocado, herbs & onion. Process until smooth. Now add in the lemon juice and apple cider vinegar slowly stopping to taste it every little bit. You might want to use less than I did as mine was quite tangy. Finally add in the salt to taste. I used 1 tsp.
3. LICK THE BOWL!
4. Store in an air tight container or jar in the fridge. Keeps for about 5 days.
Note: This dressing has a tangy kick to it from the ACV and lemon juice. If you aren’t a fan of a strong tangy flavour, I would suggest decreasing the amounts I used.

Finger-licking good.
The avocado replaced the mayo in this recipe VERY well. Love avocado as a mayo replacer! This dressing would also be amazing poured over my Protein Powder Goddess Bowl. I will be trying that tonight!
I also won’t tell you how much I ate yesterday. That would be embarrassing…
Let’s just say I felt like a Goddess for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
P.S.- I had so much fun chatting with you on facebook yesterday! I’m pretty sure my productivity went down about 5 hours, but who’s counting? It’s so fun to get to know you guys on a more interactive level and see your lovely faces.
If you’re looking for me you can find me on Facebook asking random questions, gushing about food, posting pics, and rambling on about body image epiphanies.

Delicious! If it makes you feel better, I had my fair share of Fage Total FroYo yesterday. I’m ready for goddess time! :D
YES.
That is all.
Yes!
This looks and sounds amazing – what a great green colour! Thanks for sharing the recipe, I will try it soon.
No baking in heels, huh? Sounds a bit like me sewing in just my underwear. What can I say, summer is hot and sewing is better when I’m cool :)
This looks AMAZING! Can’t wait to see your wedding outfit! :)
me too haha. Must find dress.
Gorgeous green color! Avocado is pretty much amazing
I’ve tried Goddess dressing before and I didn’t like it — but seeing the ingredients you used makes me want to try your version — maybe I tried a mayo based one? How could avocado made into a dressing not be delicious?
this looks gorgeous!!!!
I’ve never had the green goddess dressing but I used to ADORE annie’s goddess dressing, until I found out I can’t eat it anymore thanks to it containing gluten. So thanks for an awesome looking alternative because I’m pretty sick of my usual balsamic and olive oil drizzles… they aren’t doing anything for my goddess status!
Balsamic & vinegar gets old pretty quickly. Try making other types of vinagarettes, there are so many tasty ones out there. I currently use a japanese ginger one that even my partner loves.
a salad without dressing is just a veggie tray. I’ve been avoiding salads for the past bit because I want dressing and haven’t found one I like. Can’t wait to try it. Oh and not that I think I’m better than you but if my kitchen looked like the picture you posted…I would think I’ve died and gone to heaven….whenever I walk into the kitchen it seams like all of my baking/cooking supplies just tumble out of the cabinets…they all want to join the party and the clean up is brutal.
I was turned off by the avocado due to its shelf life, but now that I read it can last a week in the fridge, I plan to put it on my to-try list. Thanks!
The week in the fridge is an estimate, but I will update it once I test it out. Also you can make a half batch!
I want to stick my face in this stuff
Oooh yummy! You must have had a boatload of basil delivered recently with all these fabulous recipes this week! Sounds like you had an awesome spin class this morning! :)
Love this! Avocado is my fave. How long will this keep in the fridge? Will the avocado turn brown or does all the acid keep it nice and green? Thanks!
I have no idea, but I suspect the ACV and lemon helps preserve it longer. I will update the recipe after I test it and see how long it keeps!
awesome, thanks! I will be making this today!
Awesome! I love green goddess dressing but it really is full of some gross stuff. This recipe sounds so light and creamy, perfect!
This looks so good! Have fun at the wedding cannot wait to see pictures!
haha there is NOTHING Goddess about all that mayo. Yeesh.
When I was recovering from a really dark time, I envisioned myself as a golden goddess and defined what that was for me – strong, independent, confident, loving. I love to draw, so I ended up sketching ‘the golden goddess’ which ended up being an image of me in the lightest most amazing light I could conjure up at the time. It was such a HUGE part of my recovery.
Thanks for the reminder ;)
Yummy! I feel healthier just looking at its lovely greenness :)
Thanks for posting this! I have always been kind of freaked out when it comes to mayonnaise (it’s sort of a weird food). To be honest, I won’t even try the vegan version!
I can’t wait to try this!
I havent tried the vegan version either.
Men and mayo just go together huh? I can’t think of anything more disgusting than eating plain straight up non-vegan mayo. YUCK! Love this avocado based dressing! I’ve never made a homemade dressing using avo as the base and am so excited to try! Generally speaking is avo a good equivalent to silken tofu in dressings, puddings, and the like?
Yes I would say so!
I love avocados in dressings! I have to give this one a go!
I had no idea the original had 3 C of mayo in it! OMG – I can’t believe I ate that.
Angela,
I drool reading your posts and love them (and you!) oh so much. How do you contain yourself from eating all the yummy batter, dressings and ingredients before it makes it to the table? I would be 10lbs heavier and never have a real meal because I wouldn’t be able to wait!
Cheers to you and health!
omg I definitely marked this baby. It looks amazing. Avocado is the best thing ever so I just don’t think this could be wrong.
Must try this!! Thanks so much!
Does anyone know about how many avocados would be 1 cup?
I think it was 2 small
Girl, you better believe I’ll be making this!!! I see it over brown rice – mmmm!
And I feel ya on the vegan diet – I’ve been slowly transitioning and I love how vibrant and alive it makes me feel!
This has got to be one of my favorite recipes you’ve ever posted!! here I say that and I haven’t even made it yet – but I will today! Even if I have to bribe the produce guy for ripe avocados :)
i love this recipe!! sounds amazing!
So funny — I posted on a vegan green goddess dressing today as well! :) Looks like our versions are different, but a funny coincidence nonetheless. Such a great way to incorporate some of those fresh herbs that are taking over the garden! Great minds think alike?! ;)
too funny! Soul sistas ;)
I love the opening part
“However, I don’t always feel like a Goddess in my day to day life. “– really? You don’t feel totally amazing every single day? Ha! What woman (or person) does!
Frump Town? You could never be fully in this category b/c you don’t have a baby yet. Once you become a mother not only are you covered in flour, but all kinds of bodily fluids, too. It’s a different kind of “being covered in”…lol
Seriously though…You are always stunning, Angela, seriously!! You are soooo gorgeous!
And this dressing, also a beauty!
I love creamy green food :)
Thanks for introducing me to green monsters! I’m addicted :P and I just made the *yummiest* one ever: http://livinglearningeating.wordpress.com/2011/08/05/blueberry-green-milkshake/. It had no right to be so delicious!
Glad you like them!!
I think this would be great in a pasta salad! Yum!
Hahaha – I would probably down that entire mason jar in around 15 minutes, so you’re definitely not alone. And I hear ya on the frump town – that’s me on the weekends because those are usually my baking days :)
Seriously, if there was any way I could jump off a diving board into that jar and eat my way out, I would. I totally would.
LOL!!
Your Green Goddess Dressing looks like a winner!
The first Green Goddess Dressing I tried was from Elana’s Pantry (http://www.elanaspantry.com/green-goddess-dressing/) and it is fabulous. Also gluten free and vegan.
Ange — you definitely rock the goddess status every single day! I loved this post – and I love this dressing!!! I will definitely be trying it out on your protein power goddess bowl (it’s one of my faves)! Have fun at the wedding!
mmm that looks amazing!!! and totally reminds me of my childhood being raised by hippies that all referred to themselves as goddesses. haha
Are you calling me a hippie? lol jk
I’ve been making a vegan goddess dressing for several weeks now, absolutely obsessed with it. Although, I use tahini instead of avocado, and dill as my main herb of choice. I’ve been putting it on everything lately.
I’ll be trying that next! It might keep longer with tahini too :)
I’m gong to love this to spice up my salads this summer.
HUBBA HUBBA!! Could this dressing get any hotter?! I love how you say you don’t always feel like a goddess, because I think we ALL see you as a goddess…a beautiful one every day :)
Happy Friday Love!
xxoo
First the pesto…now this!!! I am in topping heaven!!!! :)
I’ve heard of this dressing before but never quite knew what was in it. I love your version. It’s like pesto with avocado, what’s not to love?
Oh I wanna be a goddess too :) I’ll be making this ASAP!
This is perfect! I’m always looking for ways to lighten up salad dressing.
you ARE a goddess. Don’t ever doubt that.
Where do you add the avocado? Did I miss it in the recipe? Otherwise it looks great! :)
oops added that in, thanks!
Now it definitely looks delicious!
Interesting… sounds tasty!
How long do you think it would last?
I’m looking for an awesome salad dressing recipe for a bbq this weekend, maybe this is the one (if I can find avocados!)
not sure but Ill update as soon as I test it out!
LOL, Angela, I laughed at your 3 cups of mayo comment! And avocados are like nature’s mayo. Or something.
I love how proud you are of your vegan diet and how you bask in all the positive benefits. :)
This looks great, Angela! When I first started eating salad (it was the end of highschool- embarrassing but true!) Annie’s Goddess Dressing was all I ate! I’ve since expanded my tastes quite a bit and haven’t had goddess dressing in years! I’m glad you posted this so I can give a healthy vegan version a go!
love love love that you’re giving me some great ways to use up the basil and parsley from my community garden harvest yesterday! I came straight home and made yesterday’s oil free basil pesto!
I totally know what you mean about feeling like a goddess after a hard workout. A war goddess, like Athena or Sekhmet!
But I looove that recipe! Will try post-haste. I love green goddess dressing but don’t like all the vegetable oil in it.
Eatting healthy fresh wholesome foods makes me feel like a goddess too, AND I love to leave the gym dripping and red faced! It is SO wonderful!!
This dressing sounds amazing! And the non-vegan mayo version is not even that green :P.
It is absolutely beautiful. Just looking at the pictures of the dressing makes me feel like a Goddess (hehe)!
This looks amazing!! I can’t wait to try it!
i never comment but thought i would today because i want to say you are such a beautiful goddess! all women are!!
i’m also going to a wedding tomorrow and i cannot wait to be all sparkled up! :) i have this gorgeous cocktail dress, bling bling shoes, glimmery clutch and swarovski crystal earrings (my bf gave me last yr) and cannot wait to get all goddessed up!! :)) have fun this weekend girl!
Thank you! Your wedding attire sounds awesome…have fun!
thank you thank you for using avocado in here and not just doing the swap to veganaise thing. i dislike that stuff. i will be trying this one soon for sure.
I recently bought a bottle of Amy’s version of this for the first time a few weeks ago and upon the first taste, I knew I had to make it! Your vegan version sounds so much more goddess like than the ingredient list on the bottle… but I am determined to make a non-vegan version too ;)
My favorite thing to use it on right now is my ‘goddess bowl’ ;) … pinto beans, spinach sauteed in garlic & olive oil, quinoa, green onion & the green goddess dressing all topped with sriracha. SOOOO good.
What food processor do you use?
My lil’ Cuisinart just conked out after making banana soft serve!
Sorry to hear that! RIP food processor, RIP.
I use a Kitchen Aid. Its a 14 cup for the bakery’s needs, but one that large isnt necessary for personal use. Ive had it for a year and a half now and I dont have any issues with it really.
Oh em gee, I need to make this! Goddess status, here I come! ;)
Yum!! Sounds delicious!
I also don’t cook in heels and love hearing that you’re absolutely normal. I cook in my bandana, apron and no shoes most of the time (I don’t like shoes. I love them, but I don’t like them). Since I’m constantly moving and shaking, I don’t wear makeup because it’d just end up running down my face. I like to think of my cooking as a sort-of workout… interrupted by mini photo-shoots every step of the way. :) Sounds like you’re the same! Except, of course, you make awesome salad dressing and I don’t!
man is it ever a workout! Sweating from the heat and running back and forth, taking pics, washing dishes etc!
Fantstic! I was bookmarking a ton of goddess dressings and your vegan version is by far my fav right now! def making this one first! =) Thanks girl!
xoxo
I’ve heard of the dressing before, but never actually had it. It looks delicious! And mayo has a weird taste to it, who would want ot eat it anyway?
“I don’t know who equated mayonnaise and feeling like a Goddess, but it must have been a man”. That made me laugh out loud :D this sounds really good!! I don’t like recipes with much mayo either b/c it has that heavy, way too creamy, stick to your tongue feeling to it. A little is okay, but not much!
:)
Eric used to be obsessed with mayo…thats where that joke came from! hehe. Oddly now he HATES it!
Mmmm…this looks awesome. I love the idea of adding avocado to make it creamy!
Looks VERY good! Thank you! :-)
This dressing looks great–a lightened up version of one of my favorites. I think the traditional version uses tarragon, which is so delicious–you should try that herb next time you make it! Or I’ll use it in this recipe and report back :) I’m excited to make the pesto you posted earlier this week too!
yes I would love to make a Terragon version!
What a perfect summer salad dressing! I love anything with avocado’s :)
This recipe looks amazing, and I’m adding it to the stockpile of your recipes I’ve been bookmarking lately. Starting this weekend, I’m going vegan and unprocessed — I’ve been a vegetarian for 10 years (I really don’t eat much dairy anyway, other than cheese sometimes…milk is gross), and tomorrow my fiancé and I move in together. I figured, hey, I’m making one huge life change (living with the fiancé), now is a great time to add another life change and take my vegetarian lifestyle a couple steps further by finally going vegan. Your blog and recipes, and heck, YOU, are an inspiration to me and I so look forward to trying out more of your delicious recipes — in our brand new apartment kitchen. :)
Wow, goodluck to you! Although it sounds like you won’t need any!! :)
Thank you thank you! :)
you already are a goddess… that glows! great dressing.
Glad to be back…:)
What a great recipe! I am ready to venture into mixing my own dressing, especially for ones entitled Greek Goddess! :)
I just saw your recipe for oil-free pesto which I am also SUPER excited to try!!
Happy Friday!
This sounds so yummy! Awesome idea and recipe.
This looks so delicious, I have been looking for a new dressing to perk up my salads! thanks :)
I can’t wait to try this dressing!
Whoa. Just reading this recipe is inducing a state of Goddess-ness!
That. looks. GOOD!! I am totally drooling at the thought (and sight) of it!
YAY a new way to make avacado, I love it!
Yum avocado is such a good mayo replacer! So much tastier too.
Didn’t you know? Everything green makes me feel like a goddess. Mwah. Can’t wait to drink this stuff with a straw! I mean drizzled on my salad?
Definitely going to make this over the weekend! Enjoy yours!
This sounds wonderful! Wonder if hemp seeds and tahini could work in place of the avocado, hmmmm….
Love the recipe! But the Facebook link did not work.
Error: 404 Page Not Found/
The only green goddess dressing I’ve tried is the one made by Annie’s (I think?), and I wasn’t a huge fan. Not sure what it was about it that didn’t work for me, but it was only meh. I like that you’ve done an avocado base, because let’s be honest, avocados make everything better! Might need to give this one a whirl (bad pun).
3 cups of mayo?!? Haha, i love your sense of humor about men! Thanks for this recipe. Love me some avocado :)
Avocado? Yes please!
Haha I definitely wouldn’t feel like a goddess after eating a dressing made with 3 cups of mayo either. Your version sounds much more appealing! I can’t wait to give it a try.
This looks incredible. It’s getting bookmarked immediately!
I can’t wait to try this! I had to laugh at this post because it is totally Frump town at my house too…so you are not alone :) In fact, I like it that way. Have a great weekend!
YUM!
Just when I thought your tahini avocado dressing was THE BEST, you come along with a new fab recipe. This may just give your avocado tahini dressing a run for its salad money! The competition is on! Ohsheglows wins every time of course :) MERCI BEAUCOUP can’t wait to try! Bisous, Goddess in Paris
this sounds wonderful – what would you use it with other than the protein bowl? I am really just learning what goes with what and am looking for good potato/pasta salad dressings that are different and healthy – would this work?
You are a kitchen inspiration!
hahaha I laughed so hard during this post!! You are anything but frump town angela!!!! Please show us your wedding outfit when you can =)
aaaah I already liked you on facebook (of course!)
But how can I make my picture appear on the side of my comment? help!
Looks terrific and I can’t wait to try it!
I can’t wait to try this! Bet it would be delicious on sandwiches with grilled summer veggies, yum!!!
I tried it tonight with arugula, strawberries, sprouts and sunflower seed salad. My sister loved it but I was a little “meh”. I think I need to increase the agave. Would love more suggestions about what to have it with.
I just came across your blog and it’s great! I already tried a few recipes and they are yummy. I’ve tried the VOO and this green goddess dressing. My five year old daughter just loved it and wanted a salad “right now”. I’m thinking about using limes and cilantro (instead of the lemon and basil) and have a Mexi-Cali Salad with grilled corn, jicama, black beans, etc.
aww so glad your daughter enjoyed it! Great ideas about the modifications too :)
Limes and cilantro is a great idea! This would be so delicious in a Mexican-style wrap or as a dip for hot spicy tortilla chips too.
Oooh. Another thought – great dip for grilled artichokes? I’ll find out tonight!
I tried this tonight and it’s delicious! I didn’t have any basil so I added a tablespoon of pesto instead. I used honey as a sweetener (but only a tiny bit). My fiance went crazy for this as a dip. Thanks!!
LOOOOL “I don’t know who equated mayonnaise and feeling like a Goddess, but it must have been a man” >>> love this !!
haha ;)
I made this other day with the tahini. Thank you for the suggestion, as I do not like avocado. Even my husband said This is outrageous! I plan to keep it on hand at all times. Yum!
I’m making this today! I want to use this on the weekend glow kale salad!! I think I might try throwing a few mint leaves in this. Thank you for posting amazing recipes that keep me healthy and satisfied.
I’ve made this Vegan Green Goddess recipe a number of times and love it. I find myself craving it at times,so thank you. It goes great with black bean falafels and black bean burgers as well.
This is great on my zucchini pasta salad!! Thanks so much
This dressing is amazing! I just made it last night and my hubby was raving over how delicious it was! I couldn’t finish all of my kale/chard salad so I put it in the fridge and the greens still stayed fresh overnight in the fridge with the dressing on it! AMAZING!!! Thanks for sharing!
Just made this for dinner tonight. Step 3 is a must! Since there are only 2 people in my house, I halfed the recipe and threw everything into the VitaMix – perfect.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I just went vegan 2 weeks ago and I LOVE it! I don’t miss meat/daily at all…especially when there are sites like yours that post some wonderful recipes….thanks :)
Just made this and am enjoying it over a salad right now as I type this. THIS. IS. SO. GOOD. !!!!!!!! I love tangy kick, so I just dumped it all in the food processor and went for it. Haha!
I made this recipe and loved it so much it’s now a staple in my fridge…sooooo goooood!!
Made this today, and it was AWESOME!!! I could eat it straight from the jar.
I just made this recipe yesterday but with tahini instead of avocado (as I didn’t have any).
It was delicious!
Thank you so much for this recipe that will become a big classic at home :)
Cheers from a French in Sweden <3
I’m going to make this tomorrow with Protein Powder Goddess Bowl. Do you just pour the dressing over? Because in the Goddess Bowl you cook with the dressing. Thank you:)
Hi, so….what did you end up wearing to the wedding & have you got any recipes for some easy breakfast casseroles or pies & lazy dinners for 1???
Made this recipe for the first time tonight and loved it. Earlier today I made your Back on Track II salad which I will be eating for lunch all week (I’ve made that one many times before.). Thanks for the great recipes!
Just made this and it’s my new favorite..Thank you!
So delicious! I frequently even replace the parsley and basil with cilantro to serve with a southwest type salad and it’s just as amazing. Love this dressing.
Hi I found your delicious recipe online today and will incorporate it into my cleaner living diet plan. How long will this recipe keep in the refrigerator? I always have to plan ahead… Thank you!
Just made this, it is absolutely amazing!!!! The combination of those ingredients is just magical…can’t wait to eat it ! thank you
So glad to hear you like the recipe, Julie!! Enjoy :)
Just made this, and is wonderful! Just as creamy as I’d hoped =D thanks for the recipe
I’m glad it was everything you’d hoped for, Kimberly! :)
Just made this, and is wonderful! Just as creamy as I’d hoped =D thanks for the recipe
Will the recipe still taste good without the oil?
Hey Michaela, I’m sorry I don’t know for sure, but you could certainly try it out! My guess is that it would still taste nice without it since there are fats from the mayo and avocado in there. :)
I made this today and subbed aquafaba (garbanzo bean water) for the oil. I was out of parsley so used all basil and increased the garlic by one clove. I used honey for the sweetener. I threw it all in my high-speed blender and blended all at once, adding water a little at a time till I got the right consistency. It was amazing. I used on pasta shells with cucumber, onion, green pepper, halved cherry tomatoes. Would also be good with added edamame or garbanzo beans.
Hey Cheryl, So happy this was a hit! Thanks so much for sharing your tweaks…love the use of chickpea brine here.
Could you share the nutritional value counts to this recipe for Green
Goddess Dressing
Hey Ellen, Unfortunately I don’t have the nutritional information for this recipe on hand right now, but if you plug the recipe’s information into a free online tool like caloriecount.com or nutritiondata.com, or even an app like MyFitnessPal, you should be able to find out everything you want to know fairly quickly! I hope this helps.
I love this recipe!
To make it extra healthy/sexy/green I like to add 1-2 tsp of spirulina! The other flavours do a great job of cancelling out its funky after-taste :)
Thanks for the awesome recipe.
Do you have any recommendations for omitting the oil? Like should we add more liquid to the recipe? Or just omit and see how it comes out?
Hey Christina, I’m sorry, I haven’t tried this myself. But, you could certainly try omitting the oil! My guess is that it would still taste nice without it since there are fats from the mayo and avocado in there. :) And you could experiment a bit and try adjusting other ingredients if you think it’s necessary.
You’ve referenced mayo several times in the comments but I don’t see it listed as an ingredient. Am I miss reading something? Thanks!
Hey Rachel, Mayo is often an ingredient in green goddess dressings, but in this particular recipe it’s replaced entirely by avocado – so no worries, you’re not missing anything. :) That said, my more recent version of a green goddess dressing does feature a bit of mayo, and that one’s found here. I hope this helps!
Oh my God this should be an ice cream flavour it’s soooo good!!!
… not my favorite… very herby and did not really remind me of green goddess :(
Made the tahini version of this tonight because the avocados at the store were hard rocks. Served it in a salad of thinly sliced napa cabbage, fennel, Brussels sprouts, little bit of red kale, green onions, and preserved lemon. It was delicious.
That sounds incredible..I’ve never had this dressing with brussels sprouts, but I need to. They’re one of my fave veggies.
This was incredible! Made it tonight for a buddha bowl consisting of roasted red pepper, onion, broccoli, sweet potato, brussel sprouts, plus chickpeas and quinoa. HOLY WOW. It was absolutely delicious. I think my SO was skeptical when I was preparing it all, but he gave rave reviews! Thanks so much for sharing this healthy and delicious recipe :)
Hey Jennifer, Oh man that sounds delicious!! So happy it was a hit with you both. :)
Does anyone know how long this lasts in the fridge? Would it be safe to make on the weekend and use all week for lunches? Thanks!
Hey Stephanie, it’ll keep for about 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge :)
Made this tonight with your protein power goddess bowl and i’m in love! I did make a few subs: NO oil (which turned out just fine! I added slightly more water), fresh chives instead of green onion, maple syrup instead of agave and 3 tbsp of tahini for 1 of the avocados. Thank you for suggesting putting this with the protein power bowl, I had to stop myself from eating the entire dish!
Seriously delicious! I made a triple batch for a weekend of entertaining. It was gobbled up and raved about by all! Thank you :)
Thanks Mia! So happy to hear that :)
I adore this recipe… and, this has to be one of my all-time favorite recipe posts as well. Looking forward to making this for my work Thanksgiving potluck!
haha so glad you love the post! (I just went back and re-read it because I forgot what I wrote). ;) And so happy you love the dressing too! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Tami
I just made this dressing to put on a salad of lentils with roasted veggies: beets, brussel sprouts, asparagus, onion; and feta cheese. I’m not vegan or vegetarian but this dressing was delicious. I used maple syrup as the sweetener and also, it did not take very much oil at all. Just trickled it in the food processor until creamy and lucious.
