Lemon-Herb Green Goddess Dressing

Our Green Goddess Dressing is an herbaceous, citrusy, creamy-yet-light condiment that will brighten up any salad, sandwich, or roasted vegetable dish. Made with a blend of fresh basil, parsley, cilantro, avocado oil, lemon juice, tahini, nutritional yeast, and sea salt, this dressing is packed with flavor and nutrients.

The Green Goddess Dressing was created in the 1920s at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. The story goes that a group of women were lunching at the hotel when they asked for a special dressing to be made for their salad. The chef, inspired by the lush gardens of the hotel, created a dressing with a vibrant green color and a herbaceous flavor. The women loved the dressing so much that they asked for the recipe, and the Green Goddess Dressing was born.
