A bright, herby dressing can instantly brighten a simple meal, and this Green Goddess Dressing does exactly that. Made with a blend of cilantro, mint, and parsley, along with creamy yoghurt and ripe avocado, this dressing has a smooth texture and a fresh, zesty taste that works with so many dishes.
This recipe couldn’t be easier. Just blend everything, and you’ll have a bright, green dressing ready in minutes. The citrus adds a crisp tang, while garlic and jalapeño bring a gentle heat that keeps things interesting. Smooth, refreshing, and full of flavour, it’s the kind of dressing that instantly elevates whatever you drizzle it over.
This dressing is also incredibly versatile. It can be drizzled over a crisp green salad, spooned over roasted vegetables, or used as a dip for crunchy veggie sticks. It also makes a delicious spread for sandwiches, burgers, and wraps. Because it’s made with fresh herbs, it’s a great way to use up any extra greens you have in the fridge before they lose their freshness. Once you taste this homemade version, you may find yourself skipping the bottled dressings altogether. It’s quick, simple, and packed with flavour, making it a great addition to everyday meals as well as any gatherings.
