The consensus is that the green goddess salad dressing was named after a popular 1920s play of the same name. The head chef at San Francisco’s Palace Hotel, Philip Roemer, created the green-colored dressing for a starter salad in honor of the play’s lead actor and hotel guest, George Arliss. The dressing is traditionally made with mayonnaise, sour cream and fresh green herbs. Our take on green goddess dressing is beautifully green and creamy with avocado,which is loaded with good-for-you fats.

You can make the dressing up to one day in advance. Prepare the recipe through Step 1. Cover and refrigerate the dressing in an airtight container. If you have leftover dressing, it’s perfect as a dip for crudités, drizzling over veggie wrap sandwiches and steak salads, and marinating chicken with it.
Absolutely, but know that you’ll only use one-third of the amount of dried herbs when substituting for fresh. So for every tablespoon of fresh herbs, you would use 1 teaspoon of dried.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
