Notes

It’s July and my herb garden is full of overgrown herbs. To get the most out of your herbs you want to make sure to keep them from flowering and the best way to do that is to make this super yummy dressing! Everyone that I have made my green goddess dressing for loves it and most want the recipe and make it right away. It’s so fresh and flavorful that it makes the perfect dressing for all of the fresh veggies coming out of your summer gardens. The recipe makes a good dip for veggies and for meats and is so good with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers! Or you can be like one of my friends and simply drink it, lol.

I used tarragon for this recipe but not everyone has that in their garden so it can be substituted with cilantro. This recipe is best made with fresh garden herbs but this recipe is something you can make in the winter with store bought parsley, basil, and cilantro. It’s not as flavorful, but still dang good.

The biggest problem Ive had is that the dressing is too thin. I think it’s because the herbs are so full of moisture. With that being the case watch your buttermilk amount closely. If it seems too thin add more mayo. It dressing does thicken once it’s been chilled for a couple hours.

This recipe is a big batch so I share with friends and neighbors. It will last a couple weeks in the frig.
