We’ve tweaked our favorite green goddess dressing . It has fewer ingredients, is easier to make, but is every bit as delicious.

Why we love this green goddess dressing

  • It’s creamy without using any mayonnaise or dairy.
  • The shorter ingredient list means you’re using fewer items from your fridge and pantry. Give it up for less work!
  • There is no sugar (or honey or maple syrup) in this recipe. Why add something if it’s not needed?
  • The color is the most incredible bright green.
  • It’s super versatile. While it’s obviously great on salads, we also love it as a chicken marinade, with potatoes or rice, or as a dip for veggies.

Green Goddess Dressing Ingredients

Dairy-free green goddess dressing is made with:

  • Lots of parsley – gives this salad dressing its bright green color
  • Olive oil
  • Nutritional yeast – adds a cheesy flavor.
  • Vinegar, miso, tahini, green onion, and garlic – umami flavors are used instead of the traditional anchovies

How to serve green goddess dressing

We prefer this green dressing on a salad made with crispy lettuce (e.g., romaine or iceberg) and lots of veggies. If you’re serving it on baby greens or arugula, be careful not to add too much dressing, as it can weigh down the delicate leaves.

But this recipe is good for more than just salad! It’s the chicken marinade that we use in our Green Goddess Chicken recipe.

It’s also delicious served spooned over salmon, mixed into rice, or used as a dip for roast potatoes. No matter how you serve it, it will add a ton of delicious flavor to your meal!
