I love salads of all kinds, especially during summer months when everything is at its peak freshness and full of flavor! My mother never bought bottled salad dressing while we were growing up, and I’m happy to carry on the habit for my own children! This Avocado Green Goddess Dressing is rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. Make a big batch and keep it in the fridge all week long for dipping carrots, drizzling on grilled veggies, or adding to a sandwich.

Ingredients

  • Avocado: Full of healthy omega-3 fatty acids and nutrients, it’s creamy and buttery in texture.
  • Lemon: Fresh lemon juice adds a wonderful bit of acidity and brightness to the dressing.
  • Garlic: Nutty, pungent, slightly sweet and spicy flavor.
  • Yogurt: I like to use plain Greek yogurt in place of sour cream or mayo for lower fat and higher protein.
  • Worcestershire sauce: Savory and full of umami flavor.
  • Green onion: Also called scallions, it adds very mild onion flavor to the dressing.
  • Basil: Fresh basil is peppery, earthy, and just a little sweet.
  • Salt & pepper: Enhances the flavors and seasons the dressing.

How to Make Avocado Green Goddess Dressing

Start your avocado green goddess dressing by trimming your green onions and taking the pit out of your avocado.

Then add your fresh basil leaves, trimmed green onions, and avocado to a food processor.

Next add the garlic, lemon juice, plain yogurt, Worcestershire sauce, and some salt and black pepper. Pulse and blend until smooth.

Drizzle over your favorite salad or pour into a cup to dip, and enjoy your Avocado Green Goddess Dressing!
