Equipment

Food processor or blender

Ingredients

½ cup mayonnaise (120g)
½ cup sour cream (120g)
1 cup parsley leaves packed (20g)
¼ cup dill
¼ cup chopped chives
¼ cup mixed herbs such as tarragon, cilantro, and basil
1 garlic clove chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

In the small bowl of a food processor (or in a blender canister), combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, parsley, dill, chives, other mixed herbs, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Process for 1 to 1½ minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until the herbs are finely chopped. To serve as a dip, leave it as-is. To use as a salad dressing, thin with 1 to 2 tablespoons of water.
Transfer the dressing to a bowl or jar, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour (up to 24 hours) to let the flavors blend. Taste the dressing and season again with more salt, pepper, and lemon juice, if desired. Check the consistency again, and add more water if you want a thinner dressing.

Notes

It's important to give the dressing time to sit in the fridge. The herbs and seasonings need time to permeate the creamy elements of the dressing. This hour will make a big difference in flavor, so don't skip it!
This recipe makes about 1 ¼ cups of green goddess dressing (3 to 4 tablespoons per serving).
