Green Goddess Dressing - The Health & Wellbeing Studio

Green Goddess Dressing

This dressing is sure to become your ‘everything dressing’ because it makes everything taste better! Drizzle over your favourite salad, scrambled eggs, grilled meats and fish, use as a dip for vegetables or a spread for sandwiches and raps,  You can even blend through some chickpeas or white beans for a more substantial dip or spread. 

Our version of Green Goddess Dressing ticks all the boxes – leafy greens from your favourite herbs (plus all their medicinal benefits, depending on what you choose), beneficial fats for glowing summer skin from the olive oil and avocado, prebiotic fibres from the garlic and avocado to nourish your digestive flora and the probiotics from the natural yoghurt.

Preparation time: 10 mins

Ingredients

1 large handful / cup / bunch of your favourite leafy green herbs (such as parsley, coriander, mint, chives or basil)
1/2 cup olive oil
Juice from 1 lime
1 tbsp capers
1 clove garlic
1 small chilli, optional
1/2 avocado
1/2 tsp sea salt flakes

½ cup Greek, natural or plain coconut yoghurt, optional

Instructions

  1. Place all of your chosen ingredients in a blender and pulse until just combined. Allowing a little bit of texture from your ingredients is really lovely in this dressing, but feel free to blend until smooth if you prefer.

Alternatives

Blend through some chickpeas or white beans for a green hummus style dip, or some hemp seeds or soaked cashews for added creaminess, healthy fats and protein.  Perfect for a summer platter with your favourite veggies to dip.

For a low FODMAP option, only use ¼ avocado, or replace with hemp seeds for creaminess.  Omit the garlic, and swap the natural dairy yoghurt for a lactose free alternative, or coconut yoghurt.

Swap the dairy yoghurt for coconut yoghurt for a vegan, lactose free or dairy free option.

To reduce oxalates, avoid the basil from the herb list and omit the chilli.
