Vegan Green Goddess Salad Dressing made in 5 minutes and from scratch!

Maybe you've seen a bottle in the store with a similar name? Yup, me too. I've bought it before and loved it, so I knew that I had to make my own Vegan Green Goddess dressing from scratch!

Ingredients Needed

ingredients laid out for vegan green goddess dressing

Fresh is the name of the game with this dressing!

  • Olive Oil - You could also use an avocado oil or a vegetable oil.
  • Fresh Greens - The basil, parsley, and green onions need to be fresh. Dried herbs are not a good substitute.
  • Ripe Avocados

How to Pick Ripe Avocados

The key is in the stem! Just peel the stem or cap away from the top.

  • If the stem doesn't come off - it's not ripe.
  • If the stem peels off and it's brown underneath, and it's brown underneath - it's overripe
  • If the stem comes off nice and easy and it's green underneath - ding ding ding! It's just right!

Step-by-Step Instructions

FAQs

Do I have to use a food processor?

No, you could also use a blender - but you definitely need something that'll make it nice and creamy.

Will it be too tangy?

You can totally adjust it to your taste - just be sure to add the lemon and vinegar slowly and taste along the way. If you use the full ingredient amounts, it will be nice 'n tangy.

How long will this last?

In an airtight container in the fridge, it'll last about 5 days.
