Description
This herby green goddess dressing is a creamy yet bright dairy free sauce that that makes a lovely salad dressing or dip for fresh veggies! It comes together in just 10 minutes or less using a blender or food processor, and will instantly add a boost of flavor to whatever type of meal you include it in! Made with just 8 fresh ingredients, including mayo (plus dairy free milk) instead of sour cream or greek yogurt for a lush sauce that you’ll want to drizzle on everything.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup unsweetened dairy free milk (I used oat milk)
- 1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon drained capers (optional)
- 2-3 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped basil
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
Instructions
- Add ingredients to blender. Add mayonnaise, dairy free milk, chopped garlic, lemon juice, capers, parsley, basil, chives, salt, and pepper to blender container or food processor.
- Process. Process until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed during blending.
- Season and serve! Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately or transfer to the refrigerator until ready to use. The sauce will thicken quite noticeably after a few hours in the refrigerator.
Notes
Recipe makes a little more than 1 cup of dressing.
Storage: This dressing should keep in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
A note on blender containers: I have two Vitamix blenders. One is the low profile, wider style, and the other is the more traditional tall + skinny blender container (like you see in the photos below). I always find that when blending up smaller amounts of ingredients for a sauce like this that the tall and skinner container does a much better job at properly incorporating the ingredients together. If all you have is the wide style container, I’d recommend using a food processor instead if that option is available to you! A small personal size blender would also work well.
