I remember Green Goddess Dressing while I was living in New York a long time ago but since then not much yet I just had a salad and it reminded me how good it is and saw no reason to forget about it. If you try it, you too while agree with me. Tangy, creamy and lovely!
I wanted to make a salad, but not just our regular Caesar Salad which we love but something else just for a flavor change and I found a mention to this dressing from an old Chef and decided to make it since I had all the ingredients, and you know what? It's fabulous!
This is what I made: A Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato Salad with some extra things I had in the refrigerator, it was perfect.
Ingredients:
Iceberg Lettuce, cut in strips
Baby Romaine Lettuce, cut in strips
1/3 cup Cilantro Leaves, chopped
2 Tomatoes, without seeds, cut into small squares
6 Strips of Bacon, cooked and torn into bite size pieces
1/2 cup or more of shredded or strips of cheese, your choice, I had Gouda
2 Eggs, hard boiled, peeled and cut in half
Salt and Pepper as needed, or not
Green Goddess Dressing:
1 Large Avocado, ripe
1/2 cup Cilantro Leaves
1/4 cup Olive oil, I had Leek Oil from frying some leeks
3 Tbsp Mayonnaise, either home made or Avocado Mayo, your choice
2 Tbsp Lemon juice, fresh only
1 Tbsp White Wine Vinegar
1 Garlic Clove, large, peeled, smashed with your palm
Salt and Pepper to taste
Water if needed to give you the texture you like
NOTE: You can also add shredded chicken, beef or anything you have, other types of cheese, Cherry or Grape Tomatoes cut in half, Avocado slices, Black Olives or get creative.
Ingredients for the Dressing:
Place all ingredients for the dressing in a blender or similar and process until smooth. Insure it's not too thick and add a little water at a time so it's smooth and pourable.
Once the salad ingredients are ready on plates or bowl, finish with the Salad Dressing and serve. Enjoy!
