As promised, here is the dressing that Adam made. We had been to a graduation party in May and had Green Goddess dressing and I have been wanting to try and make my own ever since because it was so creamy & fresh. I went in search of a recipe and apparently there are two camps on the lovely green goddess. Some choose to add avacado and some choose to not. I decided to go with one that didn’t, although I am excited to try the avacado version next time. I went with an Ina Garten recipe from Food Network (found here), since most of Ina’s recipes are pretty much a guaranteed success. As usual, she didn’t dissapoint.
It was flavorful & creamy and so fresh tasting! Mine turned out a tad salty, so I’ve made adjustments in the recipe below, but it was still refreshing and made for a wonderful salad. We also lightened it up a bit with light mayo & light sour cream & I subbed Ina’s basil for parsley & cilantro. We halved the recipe & still had a ton left over. I listed the halved version below.
