Back in the 70’s Green Goddess Dressing was served over big wedges of iceberg lettuce or in fancy restaurants over mixed greens. The origin of this dressing dates back to the 1920’s and hails from the famous Palace Hotel, in San Franscico, as a chef’s homage to a play of that time, called, you got it, “The Green Goddess”. I like to serve this on a mixed green salad, as a dip for veggies, in pasta salad, and even served over broiled or grilled fish and shrimp.
This has anchovy paste in this, but don’t let that deter you. I promise you, you cannot taste it at all, and if you have ever had true Caesar Salad, you have had anchovies, know that! I hope you give this a try. It is quick, easy and so full of flavor.
Sinfully,
