The Green Goddess dressing is a classic culinary creation whose origins can be traced back to the glamorous Art Deco era of the 1920s. It was first mixed and served at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, a grand establishment that catered to the city's elite. The dressing quickly became a favorite among the upper crust, and its popularity spread like wildfire throughout the country. It was featured in countless cookbooks and magazines, and it graced the tables of countless dinner parties and fancy restaurants. But it was not until the renowned American food writer James Beard got his hands on the recipe that the Green Goddess dressing truly ascended to culinary stardom. Beard championed the dressing in his influential cookbook, 'James Beard's American Cookery,' and it has remained a staple in the American culinary repertoire ever since.
